Close call as Vics “B” go down by 9 shots at Oxton “B”.
There was a close defeat for the afternoon “B” team today as they went down by 9 shots at Oxton”B”. In a much improved away performance, the Vics had 5 winners on the day. Ernie Peers led the way today with a good 21-12 victory, closely followed by the in-form Derek Thomas, who won 21-13. Lawrie Blackburn had a good 21-17 win and Reg Armitage won a tight game 21-18. Ian Cameron had a titanic tussle, triumphing 21-20 eventually, to complete the Vics winners on the day. Paul Lomax and Dave Bosworth gave good performances before both lost 17-21 and C.K.Pau went down 19-21 after another good display. Hopefully the Vics will capitalise on this showing in the return match next week and claim a much needed aggregate point.
