“C” team storm to title with home win against Thigwall.

The afternoon “C” team stormed to the 5th division title with a much needed aggregate point winning victory over Thingwall at home on Friday. After going down by 40 shots last week in the away tie the aggregate point was vital to the Vics in their quest for the title. In a match that kept the spectators on tenterhooks regarding the final points tally the Vics came out on top by 49 shots to give them a final league total of 33 points and the title by a clear 2 points. Ken Bidwell completed his own personal landmark of winning every game he played by powering to a 21-06 win and ensuring the aggregate point belonged to the Vics. John Davies used all his experience in coming from 0-5 down to win 21-08 and Stan Evans stormed to a great 21-09 win. Skipper Eric Neal leading from the front, won 21-12 and C.K.Pau had a good 21-14 victory. Eddie Dodd had a close 21-16 win and Bill Tottey, seeing red all the way through his game, won 21-17 as a good Evertonian should when having to play against an opponent using red woods. Club President Sid Dutton performed well enough on a heavy green before going down 13-21 and Arthur Fagan played well before going down 16-21. Club stalwart Andy Fergus went down 18-21 in a close encounter but as has been the case all season every player produced when mattered to bring the title to the Vics. It was also good to see “C” team skipper Len Sherbrooke on the sidelines cheering his team to the title after his unfortunate illness halfway through the season prevented him from running the side. Congratulations to Lenny and Eric Neal and their squad on an excellent season.
