WARRINGTON’S representative Federation bowls team need a win against Furness to keep alive hopes of promotion.

It is a crunch clash on Sunday as a loss would mean Warrington needing to defeat Airedale in their final game to stand a chance of avoiding relegation from Federation of Crown Green Bowls Division Five.

Last time out Warrington lost 444-440 over the two legs against South Lakes.

On Sunday, Warrington’s away team will play on the notoriously tricky Lindal green known as being a home banker for the Cumbrians.

The home leg will be simultaneously played at Woolston Social Club on Sunday at 2pm.

Doing battle on home turf will be P Davies, J Charlton, J Taylor, D Twigg, M Quayle, C Dean, M Budworth, B Brady, L Johnstone, D Morrison, M Deakin and A Gatley.

In the away team are M Humphrys, D Bennett, N Quinn, J Chapman, C Ure, I Field, J Garratt Snr, Sandra Gilfedder, S Peters, S Harrison, R Lawrenson and Steve Gilfedder.

Meanwhile, Crosfields Recreation Ground will be playing host to the Warrington and North Cheshire Bowls Association Challenge Cup semi finals on Saturday at 2pm.

Tetley A will face Woolston A on the number three green, while Eagle B clash with King and Queen A on number two.

Finalists are already known in the Silcock Cup, Stan Bann Cup and Finlayson Cup.

King and Queen A will battle with St Oswalds A in the Silcock Cup showdown, while Richmonds A will meet Tetley B in the Stan Bann decider.

Rylands A and Culcheth Sports A will contest the Finlayson Cup Final.
