Sting in the tail costs “C” team aggregate point.

The Vics afternoon “C” team suffered against Upton Victory Hall “B” yesterday, when Upton’s sting in the tail, (2 single figure wins), saw them recover from 51 shots down to only lose by 19 shots and rest the aggregate point from the Vics. Things had looked rosy in the Vics garden when Skipper Brian Buck, full of confidence from his showing for the “B” team on Wednesday, produced a good 21-10 win. Lawrie Blackburn, at home on the quick Vics green had an excellent 21-08 victory and Bill Tottey produced a fine 21-12 win to recover some of his best form for some time. Bill Powell continues to amaze the younger members of the side and came off with a competent 21-13 win. Ken Bidwell and Bill Spraggett both had hard fought 21-16 victories and together with John Brandons tough 21-20 win and Eddie Dodd’s narrow 20-21 defeat, things were looking good for a rare aggregate win for the Vics. The sting in the tail however put and end to all that!!

Unlucky 13 for Oxton as Vics double up with victory and extra point.

The Vics Birkenhead League side pulled off a fine victory at Oxton Conservative Club tonight, to complete a quick double after last weeks 19 shot home win. Another close match resulted in the Vics finally running out winners by 13 shots after having 7 winning cards. Colin Saville with a fine 21-13 win and Karl Sherbrooke, who won 21-17, had kept the Vics close on the heels of Oxton after the 1st four blocks saw 2 winners to each side. The Vics nosed in front with 3 winners in the middle four, with Neil Sherbrooke leading the way with a brilliant 21-06 win. Peter Dodd, showing signs of more consistant form, won 21-16 and Billy Atkinson, unusually for him in the middle four, won a close game 21-19. The plus of the night was Brian Buck, giving a good account of himself as a late stand in, scoring a vital 12 points in his match. John Devlin, who won 21-18 and John Lloyd with a 21-19 winning card sealed Oxton’s fate after skipper Trevor Rodgers 19-21 and Craig Borbeneaux 18-21 had kept the Vics well in touch with the home team. The Vics duly ran out winners by 13 shots to claim the full 5 points against their opponents and give the team confidence for the 2 cup matches to come on Tuesday and Wednesday next week against Harrison Park and Kings 2000. The League matches resume next Friday with a home fixture against Tixall.
