Robby takes average prize for Vics Birkenhead League side.

Robby Franklin won the “averages” for the Vics Birkenhead League side this year having won 15 of his 20 games and with a points tally of plus 113 his average was 1.40. Tony Vyskocil was a close second on 1.39 followed by Billy Atkinson 1.26. Skipper Ian Sherbrooke 1.23 was 4th with young Trevor Rodgers a good 5th 1.19 in his 1st season of 1st division bowls. Neil Sherbrooke was 6th at 1.15 followed by Peter Dodd and Karl Sherbrooke joint 7th on 1.04. ( I wonder if Doddy becomes an assistant Crusher now. ) With George Morgan at 1.01 just creeping into the plus figures the Vics had 9 bowlers showing a plus average out of the 14 players qualifying by playing a minimum of 50% of the games available. All in all not a bad return for the Vics with every player used contributing to the overall team performance by giving of their best in every game.

Final league game sees Vics with 6 away winners but lose by 9 shots.

The Vics Birkenhead League side completed their season last night at a wet and dark Tixall green by losing by 9 shots. Despite having 6 winners the Vics could not prevent Tixall from taking the 2 points. The Vics did enough however to take the aggregate point again. Skipper Ian Sherbrooke, who has done a tremendous job this season under the difficult circumstances of selecting from so few players, was the best of the Vics on the night with a good 21-12 win. Club Secretary Peter Dodd, continued his winning ways with a good 21-13 victory. Trevor Rodgers, back from his jaunt to the North East. won 21-15 and both Colin Saville and the affluent Neil Sherbrooke won 21-17. Colin’s experience has shown through in the second half of the season and he has been a welcome addition to the Club. Neil, after fleecing the bookies yet again, continued in his inimitable style, to win the majority of his games. Bernie Owen won a tight game 21-18 to complete the Vics list of winners. With Eddie Clayburn, Mike Skipworth and Crusher Sherbrooke (19) all well into double figures the match rested on Billy Atkinson, last on the green in almost total darkness, to try for the overall victory. Billy, unfortunately having to contend with a downpour as well, could only manage 19 and the Vics eventually lost by 9 shots. Not a bad season fot the Vics with a cup final and probable 6th place finish to show for their efforts. With the addition of a few new faces next season hopefully a higher league position can be attained.
