The Club was delighted to be asked to be a neutral green for one of the All England Round of 32 Tony Allcock Trophy matches. On Tuesday 23 July, Shepsted Town BC (B) from Leicestershire (the challenger) played Bolton Flat Green BC from Lancashire. The weather was superb as the entertaining game was played out, watched by some visiting supporters and a good turnout of Lilleshall members.
