“Buzz” wins Wallasey Merit Title in a competition that saw 5 Vics players in the last 8.

Anthony Thompson proved too strong for his opponents in a terrific night’s bowling, that saw him win the Wallasey Individual Merit Title at Manor Road last night with a fine 21-13 victory in the Final against West Kirby Victoria team mate John Devlin. “Buzz” provided what might have been described as the best win of the night in his quarter final match against the remarkably consistent Mark Lynch, when after taking an early 12-04 lead and being pulled back by Mark to 17-17, he managed to take 4 of the last 5 points to run out an excellent 21-18 winner. John Devlin had a topsy turvey 21-20 win over Mike Nelson in his quarter final match when after building a big early lead he found himself 19-20 down only to pull out 2 singles at the end to send Mike out, with Mike putting his last wood through the narrowest of gaps between John’s wood and the jack to unluckily lose out. The other 2 quarter final matches saw Dave Gilmore defeat John Lloyd 21-08 and Matty Gilmore defeat Geoff Lynch 21-11. The semi finals were both excellent matches with Anthony Thompson coming back from an early 03-06 deficit against Dave Gilmore to eventually go 09-06 up and keep ahead right through to the end and a fine 21-17 victory. John Devlin caused a surprise in his semi final against Matty Gilmore when after being 03-09 down he went 11-09 up and 17-11 up before running out a deserved 21-15 winner after proving almost impassable on a short mark across the green in front of the new Manor Road extension. The final saw Anthony Thompson stride into an early 08-01 lead before being pegged back to 08-09 by John but a run of 10 shots up and down the centre of the green saw Anthony take a 19-09 lead before John managed a run of 4 more to lie at 13-19, Anthony then took the 2 singles required to put his name on the famous old trophy for the first time.
