17/05/12: A scrappy affair away at Erith Snooker Master 8'ers this week in the SLKPA with neither team able to take command of the frames. Yet it was the Pickwick who emerged the happier by virtue of closing out the majority of the messy frames. Our lads nudged and fudged our way to a two set and 8-2 lead before falling down heavily in the last, to record a 2-1 sets and 9-6 frames away win. This looked like two teams who weren't going to bother the top placings this year on paper, and so it proved on the table. Tango completed a hat trick, and Gaf cleared well in the 10th frame. Other than that the match was littered with mistakes, some of them almost comical, and even our hosts joined in as the 8'ers twice potted foul blacks..... probably just as well.
15/05/12:
A first away win of the FSPL season still awaits the Pickwick after a
disappointing result away at the Bellegrove Social Club B. Our lads
started brightly enough to lead 4-1 with Wagbo catching the eye with a
nice frame, but then the wheels fell off. A mixture of no luck and poor
shot selection brought about our downfall despite Bedtime bagging a brace.
Big Dan displayed his skills at escaping awkward snookers but eventually
succumbed from one too many and little Billy is improving slowly. An 8-5
defeat was not what the doctor ordered.
