Another week, another game, and this time victory was a possibility..... Read on for this weeks game report from our ex-captain Dan who has continued to support the team whenever players are absent.
Pirates and Swingers. Hmmmmnnn. I was half expecting a debauched Caribbean package holiday recreated on the banks of Regents Park boating lake. Imagine my delight when Hedonism 3 turned out to be a nice civilised softball game instead. Good job I kept the mankini receipt.
Well, unlike Blackbeard, or anyone at Hedonism 2 this summer, the Pirates went off half-cocked from the start. Several runs down after the first innings, it took a Captain's courage to stir a counter attack. Witness seaman Waldie ably rising to the challenge, diving headfirst into a not-so-perfectly executed slide to second, injuring himself in the process.
It was the catalyst we needed and, following a great team effort, the scores were level at 21-a-piece at the bottom of the sixth, with one innings left to play. So would we go out with a victorious bang of gunpowder and five points to treasure or with a whimper of studded leather on a spotty bare arse?
You guessed it. For the fifth time in a row, we were Jolly Rogered.
I for one enjoyed it immensely. And, as an ex-employee of Partners, it was nice to catch up with another, Andrew Wadell, who was playing for the sex pests, err Swingers. Until next time, shipmates, Garrr.

Thanks again all, and a special thanks to Natalie Woodley for filling in at the last minute so at least we had a team of 9... again...
