With two matches on the same night, one in the front pin cup and the other in the league, this was always going to be a night of extremes. The cup match brought about the Golfing Society's lowest home score of the season, and the league match the highest.
The first match was a second round cup tie against the White Hart A, who the Golfing Society had defeated in the league some weeks earlier.
However, this time nothing went to plan and Gibbo (23) and Miss Hit (9) lost eighteen pins by the changeover, only to be followed by the talismatic duo of The Laprachaun (19) and Crabbers (16) who despite low scores managed to pull a pin to reduce the deficit.
Unfortunately despite Ned (24) and the Capt. (18) being the home sides highest scoring pair, they lost a further twenty three pins to record the lowest home score of the season (109) and the tie was lost by forty pins.
The second match was against Stone CC, where earlier in the season the Golfing Society had produced their highest away score but were defeated in the process.
This match was to prove no different, with the Golfing Society scoring their highest home score of the season (156) but still ending up on the losing side.
Gibbo (21) and the Leprachaun (28) started brightly but were shaded out by thirteen pins, to leave the middle combination of the high scoring Accountant (38) and Crabbers (15) to pull a single pin to cut the deficit to twelve.
Ned (28) and the Capt.(26) were again the Golfing Society's top scoring pair, but still lost a further six pins to consign the home team to an eighteen pin defeat.
Next weeks match is away to the Lone Rangers at the Knotted Rope on Thursday 10th Feb.
