LATEST NEWS
26/01/12: With no first team action for the Pickwick the attention fell on our second string the Academicals in the SLKPA this week. The first outing of the season saw us travel to White Hart with Charlie Mumbles skippering the side and Dean Williams asked to chip in to swell the numbers. The Pickwick started well and ended the match tidily but in between somewhat lost our way. Snooksy and Alan "Lofty"Hawkins got us up and running to lead 2-0. Set two saw the Aci's fail to register a frame whilst the third set produced a 2 out of 3 in our favour making it 5-4 down with 3 to play. Defeat in the 10th frame then Mumbles potted a ridiculous double in the centre pocket from the top rail, leaving it up Dean "Mr Bean" Williams to hold his nerve. He went on the attack, and as he gained strength so his opponent wilted with the pressure, and a 6-6 draw was snatched. A decent result for a fair night 's work.
24/01/12: Back to back wins for the Pickwick in the FSPL. This week the Pickwick won handsomely away at the Falconwood Club A. Tango set the scene with a clever dish when it appeared not to be on in frame 1 and from there on we never looked back. By the halfway point we were 6-1 up and went on to record a 9-4 victory which could've been even greater but for some sloppy finishing. Bedtime, Monkey and Gaf all recorded a pair of wins, whilst a toothless Undertaker deserves a mention for playing in discomfort, after loosing a gnasher earlier in the week. The oppo's Richard Marsh pulled off a great dish of his own in probably their only highlight between their temper tantrums, and committing fouls before getting a shot off (twice !) with cue ball in hand..... now that takes some doing.
