Imfamy, Imfamy

A loss at the legendary Golden Lion, Acorns not quite making the 300. I wasn't there because I was working/had a dentist's appointment/the car wouldn't start/the dog ate my fixture list. Honest.

Conservative 'C' 312, Acorns 299

On To Round 3

Acorns through to the next round of the Taylor Lane Front Pin Cup, beating Herefordians at the Bowling Club. I think our name might be on it this year.

Herefordians 144, Acorns 177

Christmas Meal

Friday 16th December at Zizi, Union Street. The table is booked for 8.30, I believe we are meeting at the Lich, probably from around 7 (anyone can add comments below if this is wrong). Cheers

Win@Home

Another win and clambering up the table again, with very consistent scoring across the legs. I wish all Acorns the best of luck for their visit the the Golden Lion next game, which I will sadly miss. Work and that.

Acorns 339, Richmond 'A' 311

Thursdays Rule

The weekend arrived early at the Railway Club (apart from the blokes who were working next day, sorry chaps), and Acorns filled their collective boots. Good scoring across the board saw the highest total of the season so far, and Rich Hall laying to rest a ghost or 10. All added up to a comfortable and much needed win after three losses on the trot.

Front Pin 7th December

No, it's not this coming Wednesday!

Out of the Man v Man

Another Wednesday free as Acorns went out of the Man v Man on Wednesday night at the Military Club. Ramblers had a two man advantage and won comfortably in the end.

Acorns 4 (292), Ramblers 8 (347)

Mid-week Mayhem

Yes, it's that week

Wednesday (23rd) is Man V Man at the Military Club (v Ramblers)
Thursday (24th) is the league game at the G.W.R.S.A Club (v Herefordians)

Christmas Comes Early

The traditional post Christmas slump looks like it's come early as Acorns lost another at home, though once again the total was one of the highest in the division on the night. Bugger.

I wasn't actually there, so you can/can't blame me (delete as applicable)

Mr Ruck's Tache

Erstwhile Acorn Antony Ruck is taking part in Movember this year, his page can be found at:

and I'm sure any donations would be much appreciated by the big fella.

Away Loss

Our favourite alley lets us down (any alley other than the Plough on recent form), and Acorns slip to their first away defeat of the season by what, in the end, was a fairly narrow margin.

Further to our 4th November effort, a submission from our official photographer, Mr R. Hall, Hereford.

Altogether now.

"Hey, Mickey, you're so..."

Can Of Whup-Ass

Couldn't really be called a collapse because we started poorly and carried on from there. Solid scoring from Woodpeckers didn't make the final score pretty.

Acorns 305, Woodpeckers 352

Steady Does It

Pretty steady scoring for another home win and we're top of the league at time of writing (thanks to other results not being in and alphabetical order mainly!) And the captain got to play again. How does he do it?

M Reid & A Farr v D Cole & M Edwards

City Sports Club

P Handscombe & R Beynon v R Turvey & B Lane

Good Finish For Win

A poor start at the Military Club saw Acorns behind but 3 floppers in the last two legs and a final leg 100 set the Tees a target they didn't quite make.

Miltary Tees 325, Acorns 329

Cup Progress - Beware The Dirty Ball

A win in the Man V Man at The Victory last night, playing Richmond Painters. We ended up winning 6-3, mainly thanks to a two man advantage. The score would have been closer still had the Painters' No. 1 not put his spare ball through on the last leg. The infamous 'dirty ball' was to blame again.

Next tie is Wednesday 23rd Nov. We have a league game on the Thursday that week.

Home Win!

First of the season, third time's the charm apparently

Can we win at home?

Second Highest Score

...at the Plough and in the division by the looks of it. Not one of those seasons again?

Acorns 354, Whitecross "B" 381

At the Volly next game & need as many as possible to turn up.

Team Page

The official league site has been adding individual team pages; I've added ours to the links on the right. Looks like they're intending to keep scores for players as well so if you don't want to know how the averages are going, don't look!
