Keith and Billy push Vics to 2 shot Centenary Cup triumph over Heswall “B”

The Vics afternoon “A” team won the Centenary Cup for the first time, when they overcame a 45 shot handicap to beat Heswall RBL “B” by 2 shots at Pensby. Keith Etches was the star of the show for the Vics with an excellent and as it turned out, much needed, 21-06 victory. Skipper Billy Atkinson was not far behind with an equally good 21-09 win. Bernie Owen came off with a fine 21-12 winning card with Bob Jones winning 21-13. Robby Franklin and Peter Walker both had 21-18 wins and Elwyn Williams won another close game 21-19. Andrew Stratton had to dig deep to pull off a narrow 21-20 victory and it needed both Ernie Peers and Brian Ibbotson’s 18-21 cards to keep the Vics noses in front at the end of the day. This was a hard fought win for the Vics despite having 8 winners on the day and understandably skipper Billy Atkinson was delighted to collect the trophy in his first season as captain.
