4 single figure winners crucial for Vics in 17 shot victory against Manor Road “B” in Harold Jones Cup preliminary round.

The Vics Wallasey side produced a fine performance last night at a heavy Liscard green, to overcome a 69 shot handicap and Manor Road “B”, to eventually win the Harold Jones Cup preliminary round match by 17 shots. The Vics had 4 crucial single figure winning cards, pulling back 55 of the 69 handicap, with the other 8 cards managing to garner another 31 shots. Jamie Fitzpatrick led the way with an excellent 21-05 win followed closely by Steve Nugent winning 21-06. The last two on the green for the Vics, Anthony Thompson and Matt Gilmore both had vital 21-09 victories with the side still 11 shots behind with the back four on. John Lloyd overcame an early deficit to run out a 21-12 winner and Robby Franklin, resorting to a longer length than normal, had a 21-14 victory.  Dave Gilmore and Robby Fitzpatrick both had 21-15 victories and Ian Sherbrooke posted a 21-16 winning card (lucky beggar, I wonder who he played!!). Billy Atkinson was involved in a tougher game than he wanted to be before coming through 21-18 in the end to give the Vics 10 winners on the night and a deserved passage into the quarter finals against Gladstone Squirrels next Tuesday at Burton’s. Next up a League match at newly promoted Hoylake Central tomorrow night.
