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.

Skuttlers skittle out Golfing Society
With both teams matching each other in league positions, this looked to be a tight match, but the old failings of too many ducks was to cost the Golfing Society dear.

The Capt (28) top scored for the Golfing Society beating Ben by one pin, but the Accountant (22) dropped three pins against Skuttle leaving the Golfing Society adrift by eleven pins.
The builder (20) and Ned (20) lost 19 pins against Trev and Brillo and the match was lost by thirty pins.
Next week see a return to front pin cup action with a home tie against the Miss Hits in an early start at 7.45 next Thursday.

Golfing Society overwhelm GMaps 206 - 150
The Golfing Society were overwhelming favourites to win this 2nd round All In cup tie against sixth division Gmaps, and despite thelower division side putting on a creditable performance, the Golfing Society ran away with the match by fifty six pins.
The Leprachaun(36) and Miss late on parade (39) top scored for the home side and pulled forty five pins to get the Golfing Society well on their way to victory.
The Accountant (28) and the Builder (36) showed what good all in players they are by pulling a further eleven pins to lead the home side into the next round.
That old golfing duo of Crabbers (34) and match captain Ned (33) were held all square by their gutsy opponents and the match was done and dusted.

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.

Inlaws outed by rampant Golfing Society 160 - 174
For the first time in recent seasons the Golfing Society completed a match without one duck being scored. With the home side scoring seven ducks, the only surprise was that the Golfing Society didn't win by more pins.
Gibbo (32) and the Capt. (26) got the Golfing Society off to a solid start and laid the foundations for their second away win of the season by pulling five pins.
With Miss one-eye and Mr Wobbly missing, the reliable middle pair of Crabbers (25) and The Accountant (33) again matched the Golfing Societys opening pair, but pulled a further eighteen pins to leave the Golfing Society in the box seat going into the final pairings.
The Leprachaun (25) and equal top scorer Ned (33) although losing nine pins saw the Golfing Society safely home to their highest scoring away victory of the season by fourteen pins.
Next week the Golfing Society will be playing two matches at home on Thursday. The first match will be a league match against the Odds & Ends starting at 7.45, and the second is an All-in Cup 2nd round match against the G Maps at 9.00pm.
