The Vics Wallasey League Team qualified for the Presidents Cup Final with a single shot victory over Sacred Heart last Tuesday. Having to concede a 66 shot start thanks to the Handicappers, the Vics had to pull out all the stops to secure victory and Robbie Fitzpatrick was the player who was on the green with the winning wood when he complated a 21-16 win. The Vics will now play “old foes “, Queens Royal, in the Final at Manor Road on Saturday August 15th with a 5-30pm start. I hope we can get the same support from Club Members that we had in the Sansom Cup Final to help the Vics win a Trophy they last won in 2004.

The Vics Birkenhead League team defeated Gladstone by 5 shots in an excellent Sansom Cup Final last Wednesday watched by a large crowd at Lever Club. The Vics brought the cup to West Kirby for the first time and silenced their critics from Birkenhead with a committed team performance. Down by quite a few shots in a number of crucial games the Vics players fought back each time to gain sufficient points to go with their five winners on the night and take the trophy. Congratulations to John Lloyd and his team in winning Wirral’s premier trophy and hopefully they can now go on and win the First Division Title to complete a memorable season.
