Vics go out of Sansom Cup after 2 shot loss to Albany.

The Vics Birkenhead League side lost by 2 shots against Albany last night in the Sansom Cup preliminary round. With only five winners the Vics were always struggling to win the match but some close games kept the result in the balance right to the last wood of the match. “Crusher” Sherbrooke, again showing fine form, was the only winner in the front four as the Vics were behind from the off, Karl winning his game 21-13. Trevor Rodgers had a close game going down 19 -21, with both Bob Jones and Colin Saville well into double figures, the Vics trailed by 6 after the first four. Bernie Owen 21-20 was the only winner in the middle four and altough Peter Dodd managed a 19-21 the Vics deficit was increased to 27. Three winners in the back four Robby Franklin 21-14, Mally Johnson 21-13 and acting skipper Neil Sherbrooke 21-10 meant that Billy Atkinson had to win by 2 for the Vics to progress. Unfortunately Billy, in a tight and tense tussle, went down 20-21 to leave the Vics beaten by 2. There is a chance for the Vics to get their revenge on Monday next week, when the same two teams meet in the Rose Bowl at Upton Victory Hall.
