“A” team finish season with a win but lose extra point.

The afternoon “A” team finally managed to beat Oxton “A” on Wednesday, with a narrow 15 shot win that was not enough for the aggregate point. With only 4 home winning cards on the day, it needed a remarkable 21-03 winning performance by skipper Billy Atkinson to see the Vics home to victory. When Robby Franklin came off with an early 21-06 win there was no hint of the difficulty to come for the Vics but with Bernie Owen 21-11 and Elwyn Williams 21-19 the only other 2 Vics winners this game went right down to the wire. Bob Jones 18-21 and Andrew Stratton and Dick Peake both 19-21 along with Keith Etches 20-21 just did enough for the Vics to eventually run out narrow winners at the end. After such a good start to the season skipper Billy Atkinson will be slightly disappointed the Vics could not win a few more away games to enable the team to push the top two in the league. Thanks must go to Peter Walker for providing an excellent spread for the teams at the end of the match.
