Chris Williams unable to complete his game as Vics “B” go down at Cammell Laird.

The Vics “B” team lost heavily at Cammell Laird yesterday afternoon, to miss out on the aggregate point by 9 shots. The match was overshadowed by Chris Williams being unwell during his game and having to concede to 6 after being 5 across at one stage. Hopefully Chris will recover quickly and be available for selection again soon. Keith Etches won his second game of the season in a fine start to his membership at the Vics, once again winning 21-16. Brian Ibbotson started his season yesterday, after being unwell last week, with a very close and hardfought 21-20 victory. Unfortunately these were the only two Vics winners on the day at a very cold and wet green which was quite quick in places and heavy in other parts. Ernie Peers 19-21 and Derek Thomas 17-21 were the pick of the losers and hopefully this will be a one off performance by the “B” team in trying circumstances. The “B” team have a bye next week in the Centenary Shield.

Eddie Clayburn continues fine start as “A” team claim aggregate point in home win.

Eddie Clayburn continued to impress with an excellent 21-06 win yesterday as The Vics “A” team completed an early season double over Higher Tranmere at West Kirby. Eddie showed no mercy in completing his second victory against Higher Tranmere in a week whilst only conceding 7 points in the two games. Andrew Stratton also started the season with 2 wins after completing an impressive 21-08 victory yesterday. Skipper Billy Atkinson , delighted with his team’s start to the campaign, also completed his second win with a 21-10 result. Mally Johnson continued his fine start to the season with a 21-11 victory, to also win his first two games. Bernie Owen and Dick Peake must be eating from the same plate, as they both won 21-17 to go with their identical results from last week. With six winners and good contributions from the rest of the squad, The Vics ran out eventual winners by 27 points to claim the extra point and start off the season with a welcome 5 points from the 2 matches with Higher Tranmere. Next week the “A” team are in Centenary Shield action at Upton Victory Hall against Thingwall “C”.
