Another poor day at the office consigned the Golfing Society to their twenty second league and final defeat of the season. Next season will see a rebadged and rejuvenated Golfing Society bidding to bounce back to the premier division at the first attempt.
The Leprachaun (18) and Gibbo (14) were unlucky to drop four pins against their opponents.
The Capt (12) and the Accountant (5) both had a match to forget and effectively handed the White Hart A the match points by dropping a further fifteen pins.
Ned (22) top scored for the away side, but despite his and the Builder's (18) efforts,they were unable to make any impression on the home side and lost eight pins to lose the match by twenty seven pins.
All in all a season to forget in terms of league performance, but the team were rewarded for their efforts by becoming runners up in this seasons All-In cup completion.

Golfing Society boxed out by Puglers 131 - 146
In their penultimate home game, the Golfing Society were looking for their traditional end of season win against the Puglers, but it was a case of wishful thinking as the Golfing Society's poor home run continued with a fifteen pin defeat.

The Accountant (24) and the Builder (15) were unable to improve the situation and dropped twelve pins to consign the already relegated Golfing Society to another home defeat.

Golfing Society relegated by Skuttlers 151 - 152
The Golfing Society were left with nothing but onion bargees and samosas after a cruel last ball defeat at the hands of a resurgent Skuttlers outfit, which relegated the Golfing Society to the second tier of Thornbury Skittles. Take away nothing from Brillo who scored the decisive six pins with his last ball, but the Golfing Society will feel agrieved that the chance of victory was so cruelly taken away from them.
The Capt (29) and Miss Ile (22) pulled two pins against Who Moved the Balls Rutter and R'John, but Crabbers (24) and the Leprachaun (15) promptly lost five pins to Speed of Light Ben and Captain Skuttle, to leave the match all to play for at just three pins down.
With the Accountant "rested", Ned (28) and the Builder (33) top scoring for the home team again, pulled two pins from Trev and Brillo, but luck has deserted the Golfing Society this season and the match and their first division status was lost by a solitary pin.
Next weeks match is on Monday at the Black Horse against Five + One, where the Golfing Society will be looking for their first victory since the 1st Feb.

Golfing Society mauled by Alley Cat Strays 155 - 175
A positive result looked to be on the cards when the Alley Cat Strays turned up with only four players, but after frantic mobile phone calls the missing players arrived and the match was put back on an equal footing, which was unfortunate for the Golfing Society who went on to lose by twenty pins.
Gibbo (26) and the Leprachaun (27) got the home side off to a decent start, but Isaacs & Dean out scored them by eleven pins.
Crabbers (22) and Ned (23) were powerless to reduce the deficit, and lost a further eighteen pins to Love & Browning.
The Accountant (18) had an off night, but with the Builder (39) in sparkling form, they managed to pull back nine pins from Hobbs & Fowler, but the match was lost.
