The SMPT World Cup will take place at Falcon Bowling and Social Club in Chelmsford on Friday 18th August. Jack Pye of Wymondham again features in the 4 strong England team which also includes Stephen Proctor, James Trott & Paul Seaman. The home nation has been drawn in Group “A” with their opening match against Norway followed by Wales & Belgium. In Group “B” are champions Ireland, who beat Sweden 5-1 in last year’s final, and with their team comprising of Mark Beattie, P.J Gallagher, Joe Beattie & Pauline Beattie it is not difficult to work out why they start as favourites. The other teams in Group “B” are Sweden, the Crown Dependency of the Isle of Mann and a Rest of the World team.
