Vics “A” team overturn 55 shot handicap in Centenary Shield

The Vics afternoon “A” team overturned a 55 shot handicap against Lever Club “B” in the Centenary Shield Preliminary Round yesterday, to eventually win by 39 shots at a much improved Harrison Park green. The first surprise on a gloriously sunny and warm afternoon at Harrison Park was to find the green completely covered with grass after last years virtually grassless surface. The Vics soon took advantage of the new conditions to condemn the plucky Lever Club side to defeat. With 5 single figure victories for the Vics, Billy Atkinson 21-02, Alan Hughes 21-04, Elwyn Williams 21-05, Peter Dodd 21-07 and Dick Peake 21-09 the Vics were ruthless in their determination to overcome the handicap. The Vics also had three 21-10 winners in Robby Franklin, Mally Johnson and Bernie Owen (suitably well fed after a fish, chips and curry meal just before the start) to seal a comfortable 39 shot win. Next up, a return to League action at Albany next Wednesday.
