LATEST
NEWS
02/07/09: With no match for the Pickwick in the SLKPA proper due to the match with the Catholic Club A being postponed until Wednesday 8th July, the attention turned to the Academicals in the Reserve League. Unfortunately it was not the most awe inspiring display away at the Windmill for Clunk and the boys. The Teddy Bear scrambled to nick 3 frames from 4 and Charlie Mumbles knocked in a black, as the Aci's went down to our first defeat of the season, losing 8-4. A performance best forgotten.
30/06/09: Sooner or later or luck is going to run out if we continue to play kamikaze pool, or play with too little thought and care. Fortunately this week we scrapped by again. At 3-0 down and 5-3 down at home to the Falconwood Club it looked decidedly dodgy, but from the brink of defeat the match was turned around with a frame to spare, which we lost naturally! James Sheed sporting a new hair cut and new mentality, carried the team with Monkey Coomes sneaking a couple of cheeky wins also, to enable the Pickwick to win 7-6.
23/06/09:
Dean James and Paul Gafa' emerged as the annual Drawn Pairs Champions for
2009 defeating Bob Pitcher and Martin Storey 3-0 in a one sided final.
Earlier Gaf and Tango had defeated Monkey and Charlie Mumbles in a mistake
ridden marathon to make the final whilst Bob and Bedtime beat the fancied
pairing of Adam Everitt and the Undertaker.

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.
The Pickwick, not just a team, but an institution.
The management are always keen to welcome players of a good standard.
