Crabbers (17) and the Leprachaun (23) got the Golfing Society off to a sparkling start by pulling nineteen pins.
Starting Price (18) and cup captain Ned (21) continued the Golfing Society's cracking start by gaining a further twentyseven pins to give the away side a magnificent forty six pin advantage.
The Accountant (23) was also in the pink, and along with the Builder (13) eased the Golfing Society through to the next round by 39 pins.
Next match is at home to Five + 1 on the 3rd January.
Christmas cheers

Alley Cat Strays demolished in late night shocker 123 - 136
The Golfing Society who have never been early night skittlers, were handed a bonus by being kept waiting for their chance to inflict an early season defeat on their home alley rivals.
As the clock ticked on, the Golfing Society kept in contention by Miss A & E (22) and the Leprachaun (26) by only losing two pins to John and Mark.
Despite the lateness of the hour, Crabbers (23) and the Capt (15) managed to pull back the deficit against Phil and the Kneedy One to leave the match tied at 86 pins apiece.
With the Accountant (23) and the Builder (27) both up past their bed times, the Golfing Society's anchor pair made no mistakes, and pulled an impressive 13 pins against Steve and the hapless Bobby.
An apology for the late start from the opposition captain would have been appreciated, but two valauable points made up for the lack of simple manners.
Merry Christmas to all my readers!

A Men no match for Golfing Society 141 - 157
The Golfing Society overcame division three strugglers by 16 pins in this 3rd round matchup in the All-In cup.
With only six players available, captain for the night Ned's only decision was what permutation to play the team in.
Gibbo (26) and the Leprachaun (16) were chosen to lead, and duly put the Golfing Society into a four pin lead against their plucky opponents.
Starting Price (28) and the Accountant (30) consolidated the lead by pulling a further eleven pins to put the away side firmly on course for the quarter finals.
Disappointingly, the top scoring Builder (32) and Capt. Ned (25) could only pull a single pin, and the home side were given a resounding three cheers despite being defeated.
Next match is on Thursday 29th November at the Knot of Rope versus the Lone Rangers.

Golfing Society duck out against Odds & Ends 120 - 139
Having to play two matches in one night meant having to have an early start against the Odds & Ends. This clearly was not to the Golfing Society's liking, and as a result they "scored" ten ducks and lost the match by nineteen pins.
With Gibbo on vacation, messrs Wibbly and Wobbly also unavailable, the team was reshuffled to include the returning Vernon Pearce.
Crabbers (19) and the Capt (15) got the home side off to a shakey start by losing twenty two pins, leaving it all to be done by the remaining home side pairings.
The Accountant (25) and the Builder (24) top scored for the Golfing Society pulled a magnificent twenty six pins back in reply, giving the home side a sniff of victory by leading by four pins.
Unfortunately, the normally reliable pairing of the Leprachaun (22) and Ned (15) were unable to maintain the momentum, and crashed by twenty three pins to consign the Golfing Society to their fourth defeat of the season.
Next weeks match is away to the Skuttlers on Wednesday when the Golfing Society will be looking to continue with their away winning form.

White Hart Colts lose to Golfing Society.
The White Hart alley being both wide and uphill, has never been the easiest of places to win at. But for once, it was the home side that struggled as the Golfing Society romped away to a fine 29 pin victory.

The Leprachaun (24) and Ned (23) pulled another fifteen pins to give the Golfing Society an unassailable lead of forty one pins, leaving the Golfing Society's anchor pair to comfortably see out the match.
The Accountant (17) and the Capt (16) lost twelve pins, but the Golfing Society were home and dry, and continue in their efforts to pull away from the relegation zone.
Next weeks match is home on Thursday to the Odds and Ends.

Golfing Society thrashed by Thursday Thirsties
After the previous weeks win, the Golfing Society were hoping for the same again against the Thursday Thirsties, but were let down by poor scores and too many ducks.
Miss Alignment (11) and Crabbers (19) saw the Golfing Society get off to a poor start by dropping 23 pins.
Mr Wibbly (20) and the Accountant (26) sparked a revival, but could only pull back one pin, which left the anchor pair needing a major disaster to befall Meacham and Gordon. However it was not to be, and despite Ned (18) and the Capt (33) being the top scoring pair for the Golfing Society, a further 10 pins were lost to see the Golfing Society lose by thirty two pins.
Next weeks match is away against the White Hart Colts on Tuesday 14th.

Newtonians crushed by dynamic Golfing Society
The Golfing Society secured a notable second double of the season, by defeating the Newtonians and sending them to the foot of the league table.
Both teams were evenly matched with five ducks "scored" on both sides, however the Golfing Society held the edge after the first pairings, and cruised home to a magnificent three pin victory.
With the Leprachaun unavailable due to holiday "commitments", Miss Taken Identity (15) and Gibbo (26) saw the Golfing Society off to a shaky start by dropping ten pins against Nobby & Woody.
However, The Accountant (31) and Crabbers (29) turned the match on its head, and pulled back twelve pins against Sean and JD.
With the match finely balanced, Ned (29) and The Capt.(26) secured a "never in doubt victory" by pulling one pin over Dicky Lowe and Capt. "Birdy".
Next match is home on Thursday to the Thursday Thirsties.

Golfing Society pippes at post bt White Hart A
In a low scoring game not helped by using the wrong bowls, the Golfing Society were unlucky not to extend thie winning streak to three matches.
Gibbo (20) and The Accountant (15) struggled with the mismatched alley balls, and lost nine pins against the oppositions opening pair.
With The Leprachaun(15) and Crabbers (25) tied up in "The Management" meeting, it was left to Ned (14) and The Capt (25) to try and reduce the arrears. Unfortunately they were only able to pull one pin to leave the Golfing Society still eight pins adrift.
The newly formed anchor pair performed well, and managed to pull back six pins but the match was lost.
Next weeks match is "away" to the Newtonians on Thursday.

The expected fightback from the Wot U Wots was not unexpected and they managed to pull back 11 pins against The Accountant (13) and The Capt. (36), but he Golfing Society were able to chalk up their second consecutive victory on the road and complet the double over the Wot U Wots.
Next weeks match is home to the White Hart A on Thursday 26th January when the Golfing Society will look to extend their winning streak.

Puglers fall to dynamic Golfing Society
Having lost to the Alley Cat Strays the previous week, the Golfing Society were determined to win at the Blackhorse against their old foes and start their climb away from relegation.
Miss Hap (15) and Gibbo (22) started well for the Golfing Society pulling nine pins to give the away side a slender lead.
The Leprachaun (19) and the Accountant (7) were disappointing, but only dropped five pins to give the anchor pair every chance of winning the match.
The four pin lead was to prove invaluable, as Ned (16) and the Capt. (24) only needed to score two pins with the last ball of the match to see the Golfing Society victorious in the league for the first time since September!
With another away match against the Wot u Wots the following week, the Golfing Society will be looking for their first double victory of the season.
