“B” team lighten gloom in close home win against Royden Hall.
04/08/2005 by admin.
The afternoon “B” team lightened the gloom a bit for the club yesterday, with a narrow 14 shot home victory against Royden Hall. Skipper Don Ibbotson returned to top form with a fine display in a 21-12 victory that was matched by Ernie Peers, showing why he is top of the averages at the moment. Eddie Dodd celebrated promotion to the “B” team, with a great display and a good 21-14 victory. Brian Ibbotson completed a good day for the family when he posted a fine 21-14 winning card and Harry Preston slowed glimpses of his known form in a tight 21-18 win. With only 5 winning cards the rest of the team needed tight games to keep the overall score in the Vics favour and with C.K.Pau and Ian Cameron managing 17-21 cards and both Dave Bosworth and Lawrie Blackburn only losing 18-21 the Vics had done enough on the patchy West Kirby green to take a narrow lead of 14 shots to Royden Hall next week. A tough encounter will need the Vics to be at their best to have a chance of at least the extra point.

Dismal week for Vics continues with 5 shot loss for “A” team at table topping Manor Road.
04/08/2005 by admin.
A bad week for the Vics various sides, got worse yesterday with the Afternoon “A” team losing by 5 shots at league leaders Manor Road “A”. With nothing less than victory required to have any chance in the title race, the Vics only had 4 winners on the day and although there were plenty of close games, these needed to be winning ones for the Vics and not losing cards. Skipper Billy Atkinson could only think what might have been at the end of a match that saw the touch of Robby Franklin return in a fine 21-12 victory. Eddie Clayburn, still hot in pursuit of Billy Atkinson at the top of the averages, again gave a confident performance in a good 21-14 win. Peter Walker, proving to be a more than useful addition to the Vics this season, also bowled well in a 21-16 triumph and Skipper Billy Atkinson produced a 21-17 winning performance to keep clear of Eddie at the top. With only 4 winners the Vics were unlikely to win the match but spirited performances from Dick Peake, Elwyn Williams and Mally Johnson, who all lost 16-21, Bernie Owen losing 19-21 and Keith Etches only going down 20-21 meant that there were only 5 shots between the sides when the totals were added up at the end. One extra point each from the losing cards and the scores would have gone the Vics way. The phrase “every point counts” was made for yesterday’s showing by the Vics.
