Afternoon “A” team too strong for Thingwall “C”.
The afternoon “A” team progressed into the next round of The Centenary Shield with a comprehensive 127 shot victory, reduced to 67 by the handicap. With 5 single figure winners, led by Elwyn Williams and Billy Atkinson both winning 21-05, closely followed by Andrew Stratton and Peter Walker winning 21-06 and Keith Etches running out a 21-08 winner, their was no hope for the unfortunate Thingwall side. Thingwall didn’t give up however and Mally Johnson 21-10, Dick Peake 21-12, Robby Franklin 21-14 and Bernie Owen 21-17 all had slightly tougher games. The Vics will face tougher ties ahead but will be in good heart after winning their first three matches of the season.
