An after the Lord Mayor's Show resulted in defeat for the Golfing Society, who playing their second match of the evening came off second best to a determined Woodpeckers side.
Showing just one change from the earlier match, the Golfing Society struggled to get to grips with the match, and were well beaten by the end of the matchup.
With Cup Captain Ned dropped after the first match, the team was rejigged, but the luckless Crabbers (16) and a harassed Chairman Leprechaun (16) showed nothing like their true form and dropped four pins to their dogged opponents.
The flushed Accountant (25) and out of position Gibbo (14) were unable to fashion a recovery for the Golfing Society and together lost a further seven pins.
The Capt. (21) played anchor for the first time this season and together with a feisty top scoring performance by the Builder (37), were the top scoring pair for the Golfing Society however they were outscored by two pins and a match that should have been won was lost.
Next match is away to the Wot-U-Wots at the Swan Thornbury on Friday 4th April 8.30pm start.

Golfing Society fall to lowly Dog Bowlers 121 - 142

F Troop put Golfing Society to the sword 145 - 126
The Golfing Society's march to promotion suffered a set back when F Troop charged their way to a nineteen pin victory over a subdued Golfing Society.
Missing several players due to non availability, the Golfing Society never really got going, and found themselves chasing the match for the whole evening.
Chairman Leprechaun (19) and Miss Ing (16) dropped three pins despite "scoring" one less duck than their opponents.
The Accountant (15) and the top scoring Capt (30) were unable to turn the match around and lost a further pin to give the away side's anchor pair just four pins to find.
Unfortunately, Cup Captain Ned (21) and the Builder (25) despite being the top scoring pair for the Golfing Society, were no match for their opponents who out scored them by fifteen pins.
This result sees the Golfing Society drop back into third place in the league behind the Persuaders and league leaders Olveston Youngsters.
Next match is home on Thursday against One's & Two's 8.30pm start.
