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.
