Another narrow away defeat for “B” team sees Skipper Derek Thomas rueing call ups to “A” team again.
Afternoon “B” team Skipper Derek Thomas, despite a brilliant 21-05 victory for himself, was left rueing the continual disruption of his team selection by call ups to the “A” team again, when his team went down to a narrow 8 shot loss on a super quick Greasby green yesterday. With four winners, two 19-21’s and a 20-21 Derek was left bemoaning the poor start made by his team with the first five blocks losing ones for the Vics. “Dynamo” Dave Leonard finally “charged” his way to a first (of many we hope) league wins for the Vics with a determined display in a narrow but more comfortable victory than the 21-20 scoreline might suggest. With Keith “The Enforcer” Etches producing another fine display in an easy 21-10 win and Peter Walker bringing up the rear with a hard fought 21-19 victory, the Vics early losers proved crucial on another frustrating day for the Skipper. These narrow away defeats could easily have been victories with a bit more luck and the proper side fielded but that is life, with the “A” team gaining preference in team selection.
