Billy leads “A” team to clean sweep and 63 shot win over Upton Victory Hall.

Skipper Billy Atkinson led from the front again, to lead his side to a 63 shot win over Upton and get his team back in the title race last Wednesday. On a sunny afternoon and with the recuperating George Morgan making a welcome visit to watch the match, the Vics had a clean sweep of 10 winners with Billy Atkinson winning 21-06 to set the example to the rest of his team. Bernie Owen and Keith Etches followed up with a couple of comfortable 21-11 wins and Mally Johnson continued his recent fine form with a 21-12 victory. Bob Jones 21-14 and Elwyn Williams 21-15 piled on the pressure with good wins and Robby Franklin had a bit of a struggle before coming out on top 21-18. Despite 10 losers Upton put up a good fight and it needed maximum effort from Andrew Stratton, Eddie Clayburn and Peter Walker to come through tough times before all three eventually won 21-20. This victory was much needed for Billy and his team after the disappointing performance at Capenhurst and sees the Vics just 1 point behind Manor Road “A” at the top of the table. Nothing less than victory is required in the return on Wednesday afternoon this week to keep up the pressure at the top.
