ROYAL Wootton Bassett men's Bowls England men’s senior four champions from last August will represent England in the senior fours discipline at the 2018 men’s British Isles Championships being held at Leamington later this week.

The foursome of Barry Sictorness, Terry Walton, Chris Cheesley and Mel Biggs (skip) won the Over 55 fours title last summer and will take on teams from Guernsey, Ireland, Jersey, Wales and Scotland.

Biggs foursome meet the winners of Jersey and Wales in the first semi-final on Thursday with Scotland drawn in the second semi against either Guernsey or Ireland.

Bassett will be trying to emulate Purton ladies, who represented England in the ladies triples at the British Isles Championships last week in Belfast and won their sectional title.
