Vics lose out to Tonge again in B.C.G.B.A. Club Championships.
The Vics travelled to Shrewsbury this morning to compete as the Merseyside representatives in the British Crown Green Club Championship but were beaten by the 2008 Champions, Tonge from Manchester. The Vics lost out by 21 shots despite excellent displays by John Devlin 21-11, Billy Atkinson 21-13 and John Lloyd 21-19. Ian Sherbrooke 18-21, Mally Johnson 15-21 and Karl Sherbrooke 14-21 all performed creditably at the excellent Severside complex. A disapponting loss for the Vics but once again the level of competition the Vics are now playing at shows the increasing strength the Club now has with regular appearances at these events.
