Woodlands Park play Sandal, Hadfield take on former last 16 team Maltby and 2016 winners Esclusham are against Meersbrook Park of South Yorkshire. Another welsh side Cunliffe, play Castle Sports, who reached the Quarter Finals of the BCGBA World Club Championship this year, and Brooke Hotel meet Ashton Cricket in the Northern Section. In the Southern Section, former World Club Champions M&B Cheslyn Hay play Belvedere and returning 2016 Shropshire Premier Bowling League champions Sir John Bayley play Moseley. Hanwood against Stretton Anglesey is a clash of two tough home greens, same as Dudley Dell and Haunchwood. West Brom FSC take on Meole Brace, while the last tie is Tanworth In Arden and Penn, a repeat of a last 16 clash from last year.
