Yorkshire to play away match on artificial green

Bowling News

The away leg of the final Section 4 fixture for the Yorkshire Senior Men's team match against Shropshire will be played on the artificial green at Allscott Heath BC. This brings a new factor into away match bowling with the stakes high as the winners will progress through to the semi-final stage of the 2025 top BCGBA competition.

I am sure that someone will be able to tell me the last time, or indeed anytime, when the County team has played on an artificial green. The home leg will be played on a more traditional grass surface at Whitkirk BC with the team selections for both county teams listed below.

Away leg to be played at 2.00pm on Sunday 6 July at Allscott Heath Bowling Club, Telford, Shropshire, TF6 5EQ

Home leg to be played at 2.00pm on Sunday 6 July at Whitkirk BC, Selby Road, Leeds LS15 7BT
