Controversy at “C” team game.
29/05/2004 by admin.
There was a controversial finish to this afternoon’s “C” team game at home to Greasby “B”. After continuous rain from mid morning the match started on time on a green fully fit for play but after 5 blocks and with the Vics leading by 73 shots, Greasby decided that it was too wet to continue. After discussions between the two captains, agreement could not be reached and with the Greasby players refusing to play, Lennie Sherbrooke had no option but to call off the remainder of the match and refer to the league secretary for advice. More to follow!!!!!!!!!

Seven winners away from home, Vics still lose by 4 shots
29/05/2004 by admin.
Despite having seven winners on the night, the Vics lost to Albany by 4 shots away tonight. Robby Franklin 21-10, Karl Sherbrooke and George Morgan both 21-12 set the Vics up nicely and with Ian Sherbrooke, Trevor Rodgers, Billy Atkinson and Peter Dodd all winning the Vics somehow managed to throw away a 28 shot lead after eight blocks to eventually lose by 4. The aggregate point was won but these are the sort of games where we need to win the away leg if we are to finish in a high league position. Next up Higher Tranmere at home next Friday 4th June.

“B” team go down at Gladstone but gain aggregate point.
28/05/2004 by admin.
The afternoon “B” team continued their improved form this season by gaining the aggregate point against Gladstone on Wednesday. Despite only two winners away, in Bill Tottey 21-09 and Chris Williams 21-20, the Vics did enough to claim the extra point. There were enough good performances by the Vics to continue the trend of collecting the aggregate point in all the league games completed this season. Bill Tottey goes to the top of the averages with his fine victory.

Wallasey trio show class, Eddie wins to single figures as Vics storm home by 99.
28/05/2004 by admin.
Three of the Vics Wallasey contingent showed their class again last night with easy victories over Burtons. Matty Gilmore 21-01 top scored, with Anthony Thompson 21-05 and Dave Gilmore 21-06 continuing the good work. Eddie Clayburn 21-07 also won well, to give team captain Mally Johnson something to think about with his next team selection. With eleven winners on the night the Vics ran out comfortable winners by 99 shots to keep up the pressure on Manor Road at the top of the table.

Vics “A” team beat champions but fail to gain aggregate point.
27/05/2004 by admin.
The Afternoon “A” team defeated champions Harrison Park at the Vics yesterday afternoon but could not quite do enough to pull back a 39 shot deficit from the away game. With seven winners and only 3 losers this was a good performance by Brian Ibbotson’s side. Elwyn Williams led the way with a good 21-11 and with comfortable wins for Billy Atkinson, Ian Cameron and Eddie Clayburn, the Vics ran out winners by 22 shots.

Vics lose out to Higher Tranmere
27/05/2004 by admin.
The Vics suffered defeat against all conquering Higher Tranmere last night in the Rose Bowl 2nd round. Despite wins by Colin Saville 21-14 and Trevor Rodgers 21-20 the Vics could not hold onto a 45 shot handicap. Thanks must go to chairman Dave Bosworth for stepping in at the last minute and he performed well against Paul Saville 12-21.

Vics retain trophy but Charity Day is the real winner.
24/05/2004 by admin.
The Vics retained the George Gilmore Trophy this afternoon at a gloriously sunny Manor Road. The real winners though were The Wirral Disabled Marine Association who were this years nominated Charity. Our own Eddie Dodd has connections with this worthy cause and it was good to see Eddie actually playing in the match. A good crowd enjoyed some very close games and the Vics ran out winners by the narrow margin of 2 shots. Dave Gilmore 21-09 being the best of the Vics winners and with three 21-20s and a 21-19 winner, there were plenty of close games for the crowd to enjoy. The Vics had 8 winners and 5 losers. Thanks go to all the players taking part, as they all paid to play today to help out the Charity.
