Sir John Bayley will meet Highley in the final of the KGJ Insurance County Cup after both teams won thrillers at St Georges.
Sir John Bayley beat Wrockwardine Wood by 18 after being level with 4 and 9 blocks off. Joint captain Scott Simpson says “it was always going to be a tight game against WW and it showed after being level with just 3 games on the green. We battled very well all night particularly Pete Grimston who battled to 18 after looking like he wasn’t going to get double figures and Stu Rutter who was brilliant against Scott Moseley (to be best winner 8) who didn’t do a great deal wrong. It was great game to be a part of and we are thrilled to make it 3 finals on the spin. All the best to WW for the rest of the season.” Best winner for Wrockwardine was Tom Killen 8.
