Paul (Flipper) Williams started
in 1968 as a 7 year old down at Castlefields with Joe Wenlock, who was at that
time teaching the kids to bowl to keep them off the streets. Played in the
reserves with Mark & George Thomas at 8 which was a mix of adults and
kids. As he got older is game progressed and played in the Inter youths
and the seniors at 16 yrs. he won the Harold Kaye 3 times, a feat which as still
never been repeated, he also won youth doubles with Tony Wall, his biggest influence
in the game as been Terry Sambrook and Tony Dunkine, they helped him, to twice
win the league handicap and merit. His outstanding memory was in beating
Martin Codd in Meole Final 21-7 as a 13yr old, his first big game was playing
for the County 1st team against Derby at OSBC and reaching a very nervous 19
points. The one player he respects most and we know they don't always see
eye to eye is Tony Poole, mainly for his achievements in the game and for the
support and time he gives to Castlefields and the youngsters in the
Academy. For someone who qualified for All England at 16 he fondly remembers
how very proud he was when winning the Club Trophy of Tommy Rogers Shield.
His ambition is to win the senior merit which so far as eluded him and to play
in the Champion of Champions. He has played over 40 times for the County
and has played the Waterloo Doubles twice, a great career. HONOURS Winner of Battlefield Classic, St George Classic, Pontesbury & Minsterley open X2, POW Open, Willenhall Classic, Twice won League Merit and League aggregate and also aggregate in Div1 of the Shrewsbury League a three times winner. In partnership with that other County star, Wayne Phillips, they have won over 20 Double Titles. Already for the year 2001 he has won the Severnside Singles, Wem Doubles competition and winner of the British Crown Green Tournament Players Association Winter Merit Table. |

Glyn started his bowling as a 7year old at Ditherington Bowling Club in St Michaels Street only because it was the game every body else played. Joining with Eric Wyche they played a bit but then they both moved to Severnside. His most memorable game as a youngest was in a league game against Terry Sambrook where Terry introduced him to "corner bowling", he lost in a big way. He later moved to the Harlescott BC with Richie Goddard and floated in the Reserves and the first team and can remember stuffing John (bangers) Nash out of sight. After playing in the County Inter Youth League he then moved to CastlefieldsBC as a 20 year old playing in the Reserves. He then went on to Captain the Premier League side in the winning season of 1995. He can still remember, how as a youngest, he looked up to and respected Tony Poole and felt it was a great honour to play against him, with him and then to be the Captain at the fields. HONOURS Shrewsbury League Merit, County Handicap, Telepost Doubles, Midland Masters Champion 1996,
