Vics take Wallasey Association First Division Title for 6th consecutive year despite close call against Gladstone Squirrels.

The Vics Wallasey League side continued to dominate the 1st Division, by clinching their sixth Title win on the trot last night, with a more difficult match than usual against Gladstone Squirrels. The Vics had to share the winners and losers last night with 6 to either side. With Robby Franklin winning 21-06, and Ian and Neil Sherbrooke both winning 21-09, there seemed to be little danger for the Vics on the night and despite another 21-10 win for Anthony Thompson (still on top of the averages with 1 match left), 21-18 and 21-12 wins for John Devlin and Billy Atkinson were needed to ensure the Vics triumphed by 34 shots over game opponents. Once again Mally Johnson skippered the team in his own unique style with 18 players turning out over the season and he has to be congratulated on managing to keep his squad rotation system working throughout. Every Vics player in the squad finished with a plus average for the year. No doubt Mally will be after a seventh title next season to equal the record set by Marine Park between 1965 and 1971.
