Vics Wallasey side back to winning ways in 83 shot win.

Mally Johnson’s Wallasey league team returned to winning ways, after their Cup disappointment on Tuesday, with an easy 83 shot home win against Manor Road “B” last night. On a wet night at West Kirby, Neil Sherbrooke continued his unbelievable run this season with an extraordinary 21-01 win against the only player he has lost to this season. Matty Gilmore, displaying his hunger to win every game as quickly as possible, had an equally emphatic 21-03 win. Anthony Thompson, having to forget about any possible sweep after just one end, had a reasonably easy 21-07 victory and Robby Franklin, in winning 21-09, was back to his best at last after a few rocky performances. Billy Atkinson, having been up and down to the top park on errands for the skipper, showed no ill effects from all his running about, to post a fine 21-10 win. Trevor Rodgers, pushing for selection for the big Queens Royal fixture next Thursday, had a comfortable 21-11 win and Bernie Owen won his first game of the week in a good 21-14 display. Eddie Clayburn, punished by the skipper for turning up late, and thrown on at number 12 in the rain, still managed to overcome a difficult opponent in a 21-16 winning performance. It was a good job Eddie won because he had so many excuses for only winning 21-16, if he had lost, I would have had to write a book about his game. Ian Sherbrooke had to come through a tough match before winning 21-17 and Dave Gilmore came from 14-17 down to eventually win 21-19 in the closest game of the night. Dave Bosworth, turning out at the last minute because of a lack of players, performed creditably to only go down 16-21 in the end. Next up for the Vics is the title deciding showdown with Queens Royal on Thursday at Harrison Park. There will be no hiding place on the green and Mally will be expecting big performances from his top players to avoid any chance of losing a 62 shot lead.
