“B” team take aggregate point with 54 shot home win against Birkenhead Park.

The afternoon “B” team lifted the gloom hanging over the club, with a marvellous 54 shot home win against Birkenhead Park yesterday, to gain the extra point as well as defeating the table toppers. It was Ian Cameron’s turn to lead the way yesterday with a great 21-10 win closely followed by Paul Lomax winning 21-11. Skipper Don Ibbotson continued to show good form with a 21-12 win and this was followed by a couple of 21-13 winners in Ernie Peers and Lawrie Blackburn. C.K.Pau again demonstrated his ability with a good 21-14 win and Dave Bosworth weighed in with a 21-16 victory. With Harry Preston losing 19-21 and both Derek Thomas and Brian Ibbotson only going down 20-21, this was a consistent overall display by the Vics and a few more of these performances will see the Vics climb the table in good style.

“A” team defeat completes miserable 24 hours for Vics.

The afternoon “A” team completed a miserable 24 hours for the Vics, by going down by 23 shots at Capenhurst, to lose the aggregate point by 2 shots. After the previous nights Wallasey League upset, the Vics went into this match determined to at least hang on to the aggregate point but with only 3 winners on the day, this was not to be. Despite a brilliant display from Eddie Clayburn, who won 21-09, the Vics lost 4 of the first five blocks with only Keith Etches 20-21 and Mally Johnson 18-21 pushing their opponents to the limit. Elwyn Williams then came in with a close fought 21-18 victory and when this was followed by another fine win for Billy Akinson, 21-10 this time, the Vics hopes were rising but with 08-21 and 14-21 defeats at the end, the Vics eventually lost by 23 shots and the aggregate point by 2. This was a severe blow to the Vics title hopes and they will need to return to the good form shown at the start of the season to stay on top of the league.
