Having beaten the Puglers in the league a month previously, the Golfing Society were looking to do a league and cup double over their relegation rivals.
The opening pair of the Leprachaun (32) and Miss Pixeyboots (36) got the home side off to a 12 pin lead, and although the team were missing their all-in specialist Mr Wobbly, Gibbo (29) and Mr Wibbly (27) ensured that at least a one pin lead was maintained for the anchor pair to work with.
Unfortunately Ned (35) and the Capt. (29) lost six pins to consign the Golfing Society to an early exit in this year's All-in Cup.
Next match sees league action return to TRFC, with a home match on Thursday 2nd December against the Wot-U-Wots.

Five + 1 Duck out against Golfing Society
On a cold winter's evening at a strangely deserted Blackhorse, the Golfing Society were good value for their three pin win over their newly promoted rivals.
The home sides opening pair struggled to score only seventeen pins between them, which allowed the Laprachaun (17) and Miss Grrrrrr! (22) to establish a 22 pin lead with only four ducks to their opponent's nine!
However despite Mr Wobbly (8) being duck happy, the match lead could have slipped away if Crabbers (32) hadn't used his holiday last week to hone his skittles aim, and the pair lost just fourteen pins to handover a well deserved eight pin lead to the Golfing Society's anchor pair.
With Ned (23) maintaining his position at the top of the averages, and the Capt. (34) at last beginning to find some form, they contained the home sides strong fightback to win by 2 + 1 pins.
Next match is home to the Puglers with a 7.45 start on Thursday 18th November.

Golfing Society defeated by White Hart Colts
Although the Golfing Society lost by twelve pins against a side that has won every match since the opening day of the season, a few records tumbled to show that with a bit more luck they can escape the relegation battle that seems to be looming for the rest of the season.
With the Leprachaun (17) starting with an 8 and his opponent a duck, it seemed that the Golfing Society had a chance of winning this match against the newly promoted White Hart Colts. However the bootless Nissan lover (19) couldn't come to her partners aid, and between them they lost twenty pins.
However, all was not lost with Mr. Wobbly (26) rediscovering his form, but was negated by Mr. Wibbly (4) losing his, to leave the Golfing Society adrift by thirty nine pins.
This gave Ned (32) and the Capt. (34) really no chance at all, but caused the White Hart Colts to believe the game was in the bag which was nearly their undoing, as the Golfing Society clawed back 27 pins by the end of the match.
Next weeks match is at the Black Horse on Monday.

Inlaws snooker Golfing Society
Owing to a fixture pile-up by the home side, the Golfing Society finally started their match at 9.40pm.
Capt. Pinder (25) and Crabbers (28) battled manfully to contain the opening pair for the Inlaws and were unlucky to be just 3 pins down on the handover to the middle pair.
However the rover less lioness (14) and top scoring Mr Wibbly (31) were unable to keep pace with their opponents, and dropped a further six pins leaving the anchor pair with it all to do.
Ned (21) fresh from the hospitality of the local hospital, and the Leprechaun (29) still recovering from his recent trip to Tesco's mislaid a further twelve pins consigning the Golfing Society to the runner's up spot.
Unfortunately, the skills that had been displayed on the pool table for the hour before the match were somewhat lacking in the skittle alley, and the homeside were victors by 21 pins.
Next weeks match is home to the White hart Colts.
