27/07/10: It's just as well that Monkey can still remember to knock the blacks in otherwise the Pickwick's FSPL season would be in a worse state than it already is. His two wins coupled with a nice finish from Grimsby in his first frame and Tango's tidy up in the 8th frame were about as good as it got as the Pickwick went down again. This time is was at home to O'Connors by the odd frame 7-6. Very little for our lads to get excited about, apart from whether a late arrival should be allowed to play against us..... pity as it used to be exciting most weeks for serious matters on the baize. Roll on the winter season.
22/07/10: Mission accomplished was the verdict after this weeks match in the SLKPA. Needing 2 points to secure our Elite League status against relegation threatened Riley's Rovers, the Pickwick held our nerve to win a couple of sets, and a frames win to boot. It wasn't pretty and it certainly was a bit nervy but we managed to secure the 2 points required by frame 9 of the night. Our opponents came out with all guns blaring, and without a lot of luck on our side we could have been in the brown stuff all evening, but as the Rovers missed the crucial shots, the fudgers from SE7 took full advantage. Gaf played more like a litter picker than "The Janitor" but 3 frames are crucial at this stage of the season, now matter how they come about, and Bedtime finally dispelled the myth that he can't play at Riley's and chipped in with a couple too. So the 2-1 and 8-7 win was greeted with a huge sigh of relief for the Pickwick as we live to fight on in this division in 2011 after a terrible start to the season, whilst our hosts face a final match of the season showdown.
