Joe 90 and Rampant Robby steer Vics towards 2nd Victory Cup win in 4 years.

“Joe 90″ (Ian Sherbrooke) and “Rampant Robby” (Franklin) steered the Vics Birkenhead League side to a second Dr.Dawson Victory Cup triumph in the last 4 years. The Vics defeated Tixall by 16 shots in an excellent Final played in a good sporting spirit at Thingwall on Saturday. Having to give away 12 shots to the handicapper, the Vics needed a good start and Ian Sherbrooke provided this with a stunning 21-06 victory. Karl Sherbrooke produced a tremendous fight back to win 21-20 from 12-19 down to see the Vics trail by 13 shots after the first 4. With 3 winners in the middle 4, Craig Borbeneaux 21-17, Peter Walker 21-19 and Colin Saville 21-11, the Vics had pulled the deficit back to only one shot after 8 blocks. Robby Franklin lead the way in the back 4 with a superb 21-08 victory which was supplemented by John Lloyd’s 21-16 win and Mally Johnson’s 21-19 victory. Bernie Owen 16-21, Peter Dodd 17-21 (from 09-19 down) and Trevor Rodgers with an 18-21 card did enough to cover a rare off day for John Devlin, 09-21 and give the Vics an overall scoreline of 228-212 and victory over a gallant Tixall side. League President, John Griffiths praised both sides for a fine match played in an excellent sporting spirit before presenting the Cup to a beaming West Kirby Captain, Treveor Rodgers.
