WORCESTER Bowling Club reached the semi-finals of the Vernon Turner Cup after beating Chester Road by 11 shots in Kidderminster.

The club also continued to progress in the National Double Rink with 35 and 41-shot victories over St Dunstans.

Worcester reached round five of the National Top Club after a convincing 4-1 win at Ross-on-Wye and meet Bristol Greenbank in the area final.

Simon Jones and Rob Stanley were both successful in the singles.

The city side suffered a 50-shot home defeat to Cheltenham.

Their only success came from Colin Hemming’s rink who clawed themselves back to win by the odd shot.

Worcester had more misery with Gloucestershire visitors when Cheltenham side Whaddon defeated them by 33 shots.

The hosts lost on all five rinks.

Meanwhile, Barbourne continued their fine form with two wins by handsome margins over Powick and the Worcestershire Bowling Association’s Presidents and Executives.

Barbourne also defeated neighbours St Dunstans by seven shots in the Vernon Turner Cup.

Brotherhood had four winning rinks and won by 10 shots against Barnwood from Gloucester.
