Golfing Society win at a canter

The final game of the season finished with a well deserved win for the Golfing Society over the White Hart Colts.

With the Colts having been relegated the previous night, it was up to the Golfing Society to win and hopefully maintain their third place position in the league.

With Tinney (19) and Lewis (28) the Golfing Society surged into an 11 pin lead which was further improved by a further 11 pins after fine performances by the wibbly wobbleys of Bowker (19) and Williams (32).

Being given the luxury for once of a good lead, the final pairing of Pearce (35) and Pinder (31) brought the home team home to a 21 pin victory.

Congratulations go to all team members who have contributed to this years successes.

In their final away match of the season, the Golfing Society travelled to the Wheatsheaf and came away with the points. The relegation threatened Roaring Twenties needed to win, but so did the Golfing Society with a top three place in the league up for grabs.

Making no mistakes, Pearce (24) and Pinder (20) plundered a further 6 pins to breeze home by a comfortable 14 pins.
