Six hitters Ian and Peter shoot Vics on way to 76 shot win over Harrison Park.

The Vics Birkenhead league side beat Harrison Park by 76 shots last night on a hot night at West Kirby. Ian Sherbrooke and Peter Dodd starred for the Vics, with commanding 21-06 wins, closely followed by Karl Sherbrooke winning 21-09. Robby Franklin and C.K.Pau both won 21-12 and Bernie Owen and Trevor Rodgers had 21-13 wins. Mally Johnson winning 21-14 and Neil Sherbrooke 21-15 completed the 9 Vics winners on a night when the attraction of a local outdoor play “Alice through looking Glass” and gentlemen playing bowls, transformed Ashton Park into a scene from the early 1900’s. I think special mention must go to Eddie Dodd pulling back from 5-17 down to eventually manage 16-21 and C.K.Pau who won his second game of the day, because without these appearances from dedicated club members the Vics would be unable to field a full side on some occasions with the limited numbers in our squad. Club secretary Peter Dodd also needs the odd game like tonight to boost his confidence and help his spirits on his constant travels to and from the Wirral. With a 76 shot lead to take to Harrison Park next week, the Vics will be hoping to gain the aggregate point at least but it will not be easy on a tricky green.

C.K. and Andy star as “C” team complete tremendous turnaround in scores to claim extra point.

C.K.Pau and Andy Fergus completely dominated their games yesterday, to win 21-03 and 21-04 respectively and set the afternoon “C” team on the way to pulling back the 42 shot deficit from last week. Ernie Peers also had another good day, winning 21-09. On a green in wonderful condition and in good weather, Stan Evans showed he has lost none of his short game skills, by winning 21-13. Paul Lomax chipped in with a useful 21-15 win and this was closely followed by a 21-16 victory for Tony Ryding, making a rare but welcome appearance this season. Tony has been sorely missed by the Vics because of work commitments but hopefully might be able to get in some more games before the season ends. Eddie Dodd needed to bowl at his best against a tough opponent to eventually come out on top 21-18. Eric Neal and Bernie Davies both had tough encounters before narrow 18-21 defeats but with the whole side in confident mood, a win by 53 shots and the aggregate point gained, was just the boost the Vics needed for a hopeful climb up the table.
