REMEMBER PLAYING IN THE B TEAM WITH JIM ROBERTS, HE ALWAYS USED TO WEAR A JACKET WHATEVER THE WEATHER, SOME HAVE SAID HE IS THE BEST CORNER BOWLER THE WREXHAM AREA HAS EVER PRODUCED? BUT ONLY PLAYED WITH HIM WHEN I WAS 14 FOR MY 1ST SEASON BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY

With regards to Jim Roberts he was the only player I have ever known and played against who if you drew him there was only one place you were going, more so than Rocky or Hallet or any other players who are playng now, and yes I wouldn,t argue he was very good on corner marks.
Although like all decent bowlers he could still bowl shorter marks, he just wouldn,t throw the jack out for 21 yards or if he did it was only to get back to the corner.

I think I played him 3 times won 1 lost 2

BRIAN JONES (LITTLE BRIAN) PLAYED AS WELL MAL

Yes Brian Jones..
Got to tell you a tale about Brian.. I played him in the final of the Cunliffe Open Singles, we had both played well all day,and we were both playing more or less the same length 25 Yards or so, and I think it was pretty well a full entry because it was very late and getting dark in the final, anyway he beat me.

In the bar after Brian said to me if you had taken me just another 5 yards I don,t think I would have scored, I laughed thinking he was joking, but then he said no seriously because of his eyes in that light he told me he couldn,t see any further than 25 yards Ahgggg !!
