Vics go down away from home again, in 23 shot loss at Albany.

The Vics Birkenhead League side lost by 23 shots at Albany on Monday night, to continue their dismal run of away form. Playing one of the sides below them in the table the Vics had high hopes of actually coming away with a win at the immaculate Albany set up in Birkenhead. Even with 6 winners on the night the Vics could not quite do enough to get the better of the Albany side. Skipper Ian Sherbrooke did his best to inspire the Vics, with a fine 21-10 win and Mally Johnson continued his tremendous recent run, winning 21-13. The fact that we had three 21-18 winners in Trevor Rodgers, Colin Saville and Billy Atkinson and a 21-19 winner in Neil Sherbrooke meant that our losing cards were much greater than the Albany losers and consequently another defeat was the outcome. We will hopefully pull the 23 shots back in the home tie on Friday but it is obvious that we need to attract some more players if we are to be competitive away from home in this league next season. Whilst we can win most of our home games, it is the away form that is letting us down and stronger players are required to make any sort of challenge on the top four teams.
