Golfing Society mugged by One Armed Bandit

True to form, the Alley Cat Strays once more pounced on The Golfing Society's inability to close out a game from a winning position, and were good value for their 12 pin win.

Once again Taylor (24) and Gibbs (29) got the Golfing Society off to a good start by pulling seven pins, but the middle pairing of Crabtree (22) and Tinney (15) lost twenty three pins, leaving the anchor pair to find 17 pins for victory.

However with the odds stacked against them, Lewis (24) and Pinder (26) were only able to pull back four pins, to send the Alley Cat Strays away purring.

Next weeks match is home on Thursday 8th April against the White Hart A.

With Rich Williams (31) at last finding his form, the pair pulled a magnificent eighteen pins to put the Golfing Society back in the lead by 9 pins.

It was now left to Lewis (30) and Pinder (25) to consolidate the win by pulling a further 3 pins to ease the Golfing Society to a moral boosting win.

Golfing Society sink Ship-A-Hoys

Jokers have last laugh over Golfing Society

Taylor(32) and Tinney(30) got the Golfing Society off to a perfect start in last Wednesday's relegation show down at the RBL Patchway.

Racing into a 13 pin lead, the Golfing Society were looking for their first away win since the 19th November, but with Crabtree(21) and the luckless Williams(17) unable to get a large score, the match swung back to give the Jokers a narrow one pin lead going into the final pair.

Lewis(25) opened his score with a magnificent 9, and with Pinder(23) the away team were back in the lead and looking for that elusive win. However, with Lewis then visiting the Lord Mayors Show, and Pinder quickly following him with two more ducks, the match was grabbed away by the Jokers who coasted home by 19 pins.

Next match is home to the Ship-A-Hoys on Thursday 4th March.
