Centenary Cup comes back home after “C” team’s stunning victory
The Birkenhead and Wirral Crown Green Bowling League, Afternoon Section, Centenary Cup came back “home” to the Vics on Monday when Brian Buck’s “Buccanneers” beat Royden Hall by 187-174 in a swashbuckling performance at Cammell Laird. The Vics “C” team received 20 shots from their higher ranked opponents who were Division Four Champions last year and with 5 winners each the handicap proved to be just about right at the end of the day. The first 4 blocks were shared with our resident “Master Chef”, Peter Walker’s, excellent 21-09 grilling of his opponent proving decisive later on. “Bluey” Davies continued his piracy for the Vics this season with another crucial 21-11 victory for the team. Bluey has taken to this afternoon bowls caper like a duck to water and his competitive streak has rubbed off on his team mates with “Rocket” Ray Farrell proving just why he is top of the averages with another 21-13 win. Ray is another in the “Bluey” mould of never accepting defeat lightly and “Tiger Ted” Lawrence is the 3rd “C” team player of the same ilk. In Ted’s 1st season back in bowls after a long lay off, he has now won 17 out of his last 18 league and cup matches and yet again on Monday a vital 21-17 win for Ted came at a crucial stage of the match. Brian Buck can only be delighted that John Davies. Ray Farrell and Ted Lawrence have all started off their Vics membership in his side this season. “Mr. Reliable” Tony Ryding was the Vics fifth winner on the day with a hard earned 21-19 victory, and Tony knows that this is the least the writer expects from him every time he plays. Reg Armitage, Eddie Dodd, Calvert Jones, Ian Wilson and the evergreen Harold Rutter, another player making a successful return to bowls this season after a long lay off, all did enough in their games to ensure the “C” team won the Cup for the Vics for the 3rd time in 4 years after previous victories for the “B” team and the “A” team. Skipper Brian Buck was understandably delighted with his side and all the players who have played for the “C” team this season can consider themselves part of this success.
