Vics storm to 4th title on the run.

The Vics Wallasey League side completed their 4th consectutive 1st division title last night, with a comprehensive 78 shot victory over Manor Road “B”. All mathematical hope for rivals Queens Royal vanished into thin air with 11 home winners on the night. Robby Fitzpatrick, resplendant in a club shirt, had an easy 21-04 win with Matty Gilmore also showing his class with a 21-06 victory. The rest of the Manor Road bowlers bowled the green quite well with Neil Sherbrooke 21-10 and Dave Gilmore 21-12 the next best for the Vics. Robby Franklin, back from holiday, had a 21-13 win and Ian Sherbrooke won 21-15. Bernie Owen won 21-16 and Anthony Thompson had one of his toughest home games this season before winning 21-17. Both Skipper Mally Johnson and Eddie Clayburn won close fought 21-18 games and Peter Dodd had to come from 15-20 down to win 21-20 and keep his unbeaten home record intact. Unfortunately Billy Atkinson went down to Bill Draper 17-21 at the end but with 11 winners and a 78 shot overall victory, the Vics have proved yet again that overall team strengh is the deciding factor in the Wallasey League. The last game of the season takes place at Sacred Heart on Thursday 6-15pm.

Robby Fitzpatrick takes Wallasey Festival title.

Robby Fitzpatrick won the Wallasey Festival at Harrison Park on Sunday afternoon with a superb display in the final beating Colin Saville 21-08. Robby had to work hard for his victory, playing 5 games in the day. He beat Geoff Lynch Jnr. 21-17, Dave Croston 21-14, Mike Nelson 21-11 and Steve Wharton Jnr. 21-17 in the semi final before coming up against Colin Saville in the final. Congratulations to Robby but I think he needs to find a new shirt, that Cisse shirt is a bit much when you have to look at it for 5 hours !!!!!
