New Team Captains at the Vics.
The 2009 Season gets under way on Wednesday April 8th with the Afternoon “A” and “B” teams in action against Harrison Park “A” and “B” teams respectively. We have 3 new Team Captains at the Vics this year, with John Lloyd taking the over reigns of the Birkenhead Evening League team from Ian Sherbrooke and Keith Etches stepping in for Derek Thomas with the Afternoon “B” Team and Ian Wilson running the Afternoon “C” Team instead of Brian Buck. We thank Ian, Derek and Brian for all their hard work during the last few seasons and wish John, Keith and Ian all the best in their new posts. Bill Atkinson and Malcolm Johnson remian in charge of the Afternoon “A” and Wallasey League teams respectively. The two required Starred player lists for the Afternoon “A” and “B” teams produced a few surprises and can be seen below.
“A” Team: Mally Andrews, Bill Atkinson, Eddie Clayburn, Peter Dodd, Robby Franklin, Dick Peake, Tony Ryding, Andrew Stratton + ( Bernie Owen & Elwyn Williams starred for Cup Matches)
“B” Team: John Brandon, Ian Cameron, Keith Etches, Ian Hamilton, Malcolm Johnson, Ernie Peers, Keith Stewart, Derek Thomas + ( Bill Purcell & Peter Walker starred for Cup Matches)
With over 50 players registered in the Afternoon League for the Vics, “C” Team Skipper, Ian Wilson, will have a tough job picking his starting line up !!!
