Billy takes Wallasey British Parks Merit Title.

Billy Atkinson finally won his first senior individual trophy last night when winning the Wallasey Association, British Parks Merit Title at Marine Park. After a very close opening 21-19 victory against Dave Croston (Queens Royal), Billy was then involved in a titanic struggle with Vics team mate Eddie Clayburn in the quarter final. Eddie, bowling well enough to take an 18-16 lead, suddenly threw the jack off to let Billy in and sure enough Billy kept his nerve to run out a 21-18 winner. In the semi-final, Billy overcame Paul Saville (Queens Royal) before going on to beat another Queens Royal bowler, Colin Saville 21-12 in the final, which was completed in near darkness at 10-05 pm. Billy and Colin, who of course plays in the Vics Birkenhead League team, now go on to represent Wallasey in the British Parks National Finals next month at Bradford for a place in the Champion of Champions Tournament at the Waterloo in Blackpool. Congratulations to Billy after playing four games on the night, which was a testament to his fitness as well as his skill.
