Early losses contribute to 1 shot home defeat for Vics.

The Vics Birkenhead League side went down to a disappointing 1 shot loss to Lever Club on Friday night when 4 losing cards from the first 6 blocks left them with too much to do at the end of the night. Even when Crusher (Karl Sherbrooke), bounced back to form, using a new grip honed from hours of practice at home!!!, came in with an early 21-08 victory, the writing was on the wall with the Vics early starters struggling on a slow green. Bernie the Bolt (Owen) bounced back from a poor start to the season and only 3 soups at dinner time, with a timely 21-18 win in a very tight game. Skipper Trevor Rodgers continued his winning streak at this level with a hard won 21-18 victory but with only 3 winners out of 8 the Vics were 24 shots down with the last 4 on the green. Growler Colin (Saville) brought the Vics right back into the match with a great 21-10 win, despite giving a good impression of a ***** **** in a show of petulance towards the measurer, Colin will be able to fill in the blanks in his usual immaculate English. John Devlin came off with a fine 21-16 win and when Billy Atkinson also won 21-19, the Vics were right back in the match with a chance of pulling off an unlikely win. John Lloyd lying 18-09 up and with 2 counting could do nothing about a fire from his opponent that sent the jack into the dyke and cancelled the end. Even though John eventually won 21-16 the “fire” proved crucial to the outcome and the Vics went down by one shot at the end of the night.
