Vics complete second clean sweep in 3 days against luckless Gladstone Squirrels
The Vics Wallasey League side powered on at the top of the table after beating Gladstone Squirrels on Thursday to complete 2 matches in 3 days without a loser against their plucky opponents. The Vics had a 153 shot win that included 6 single figure winners in Robby Fitzpatrick 21-02, John Lloyd 21-04, Brian Leonard and Matt Gilmore 21-05, Robby Hall 21-06 and Steve Nugent 21-09. Robby Franklin and Bill Atkinson both won 21-11 with Karl Sherbrooke, still hoping for the quick greens to arrive, winning 21-12. Neil Sherbrooke struggled somewhat surprisingly to win 21-16 and Jamie Fitzpatrick was involved in the best game of the night before finally winning 21-18. One sobering thought for the Vics Skipper to chew over in the next few days is the prospect of the handicap the Vics will have to give Third Division, Sacred Heart “C” in the Presidents Cup First Round. 153 shot wins over First Division opponents does not make it easy for the Handicap Committee to reach a fair figure for both sides !!!!
