LATEST NEWS

04/02/10:     A welcome break form regular league matches next week as the Pickwick are in cup action, and boy do we need it. Our league season is deteriorating fast with another defeat this week in our own backyard. Once again the Pickwick failed to show up in the first set and if the league season was based on just the last two sets we may have already secured the title by now. As it stands with just one match left we need a good showing to secure runners up spot, with third place looking more likely. A big fall from grace when at Xmas we sat atop the division with high hopes of the championship. This week O'Connors A tore into us in the first five, and we went 4-1 down, fighting back in the second set we levelled at 5 apiece. Alas the last frame decider went against us we and we succumbed to a 8-7 defeat, with O'Connors A gaining ground on us with a game in hand in third place. Paul Slater, The Gypsy, roamed around the table, nicking any old scraps and displaying some nice touches to win his 3 frames, whilst Tango played decently in support.
The Academicals also suffered a 7-5 reverse which effectively puts paid to any feint hopes of a repeat title, losing at top of the table Woodman.

02/02/10:     Sun In The Sands were our guests at the "Academy Of Pool" on Tuesday in the FSPL and were duly taught a lesson. A dour battle ensued between two teams, both trying to force mistakes from the other. As our regular readers will be aware we don't make mistakes, the odd error of judgement occasionally, but not mistakes. Tonight was no different. Frame by frame, we picked our way through the maze of puzzles to win the lion share of the fudging battles to record a solid 10-3 home win. No real stars as the whole team acquitted themselves with distinction, to keep the Pickwick on course for the FSPL Premier Division runners up spot.   

28/01/10:     Latest FSPL league table updated.

27/01/10:     In the FSPL the Pickwick are believed to have another tough draw in the Team Knock Out Quarter Finals, away to the Castle B. This is yet to be confirmed.

The team in one guise or another has been together since 1980, and has been one of the more successful teams in the area. Currently participating in the top divisions of the Frank Smith Pool League and the South London & Kent Pool Alliance. Matches are played on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. In the heyday of the late 80's and 90's many trophies were accumulated in the FSPL including the Championship in 1990-91 and the Team Knock Out Winners in 1998-99. Along with the double (Championship and Team Knock Out Winners) in the Greenwich & District League in 1997.
