Vics win Harold Jones Cup

West Kirby Victoria beat Hoylake Central by 7 shots last night to win the Harold Jones Cup Final at Magazine Bowling Club. In a match played in gale force winds at times, West Kirby’s victory was well deserved, having to overcome a handicap of 66 shots and posting 8 winners to Central’s 4. The Vics got off to a flyer with two excellent early single figure winners in James Fitzpatrick 21-04 and Neil Sherbrooke 21-06. Paul Gartland replied with a fine 21-14 victory for Central but Dave Gilmore immediately responded with a 21-14 victory for West Kirby. The middle matches saw Peter Dodd 21-17 and Rick Keeley 21-19 produce fine winning displays for Central but once again the Vics responded with 21-10 and 21-15 wins for Rob Fitzpatrick and Ian Sherbrooke respectively. Thanks to the handicapping system, Hoylake Central still held a 25 shot lead going into the back four with hopes of producing a shock win but the Vics superior fire power proved to be too much in the end despite Trevor Rodgers pulling off the “win of the night”, a brilliant 21-07 victory over Anthony Thompson. John Lloyd raced to an excellent 21-05 win and Lee Brocklebank came off with a fine 21-10 win leaving Matt Gilmore as last man for the Vics and still having to pull back a ten shot lead for Hoylake Central. Not for the first time, Matt came up trumps for the Vics, with an impressive 21-04 match winning performance. West Kirby Captain, Malcolm paid tribute to his team after receiving the cup from Association President, Keith Etches.
