RYLANDS B bowls team will be hoping to make amends for their A team's loss this weekend.

The Gorsey Lane B team face St Oswalds A in Warrington and North Cheshire Bowls Association's Silcock Cup Final at Orford War Memorial on Saturday at 2pm.

But the A team lost to Cadishead Cons 256-240 in the league's other premier knockout, the Challenge Cup, at the weekend.

Rylands B, who play in Section D of the Monday league and Section C of the Friday league, will have a 45-chalk start in the Silcock Cup Final with the competition's handicap system but some of the town's top bowlers in the ranks of double title-chasing St Oswalds will be hoping to rise to the challenge.

Saturday's line-ups, St Oswalds A (handicap -12) v Rylands B (handicap 33): K Wainwright v D Watson, C Marshall v K Taylor, S Goodwin v C Goodhand, J Stone v F Flanagan, R Nevins v J Kirkham, T Johnstone v J Harris, D Wright v J Watson, J Brown v D Wilcock, R Bate v J Burke, W Rowson v C Taylor, G Stone v R Timmins, S Brown v J Bradshaw.

Rylands A got off to a great start in Saturday's Challenge Cup Final with the first two blocks, P Birmingham and J Russell, winning 21-8 and 21-9.

But Cadishead went on to seal seven of the 12 matches, with Dave Yates winning the man of the match award for his 21-16 success against F Smith.

Rylands' other winners were M Parker, 21-11, and C Grimes, 21-18.
