Following a tight game against the Meteors last week it was time to let loose against the re-promoted Knights. Last year we fared well against them with a home and away victory but as we know all too well in softball you can never underestimate your opponent (anyone remember losing twice to an awful Hampstead Heat … Continue reading Pirates kick Knight arse!

Pirates bounce back with win over Meteors
We all know the game against the Cheetahs was not our best to the point that it was not even mentioned in the blog. What was important that we bounced back against a strong and undefeated Meteors team away at Finsbury Park. Once again the guys were notorious in their absence with Chris on his … Continue reading Pirates bounce back with win over Meteors
Captain Carr ties the knot!
Another year and another Pirate wedding though this time it was time for Captain Carr and Josie to take to the altar. The Pirates descended en masse over the weekend to the picturesque town of Salisbury to witness a perfect wedding in Josie's local church. Given the ominous weather forecast it couldn't have turned out better … Continue reading Captain Carr ties the knot!
Firstball 2016- Pirates take 2nd place!
What a start to the season for the Pirates! After an excellent first game against the Tornados it was time for the first official tournament of the season- Firstball. Unlike last year we were playing up a division (white) which meant a mix of teams from Minors 1 and Majors 2 including Kamikazes (Min1), Knights … Continue reading Firstball 2016- Pirates take 2nd place!
Pirates: May preview
Just two days to go and the Pirate's season kicks off against a newly promoted Moanado team. For anyone that can't remember the last time we played them it was the reverse fixture to perhaps one of the most bad tempered game we've played in. In case you can't remember here's a refresher: https://pimlicopirates.com/pirates-match-reports/2012-match-reports/july-3-pirates-vs-tornadoes/ A … Continue reading Pirates: May preview
New Parrot squad??
Whilst the Pirates have done well to secure so many new players spare a thought for the Parrots. Knee injuries, immigration and inter-team transfers have resulted in a shortage of players- particularly the girls. Have no fear- Neil is confident as the season approaches with the makings of a new Parrot squad. Squawk!!
Edinburgh- Pirates take the plate!
It's been a good month for the Pirates. Not only have we finally been promoted to the giddy heights of Minors 1, we managed to beat the Base Invaders en route to the final of Lastball which we narrowly lost to the Kamikazes. Perhaps even more important, or at least more anticipated, was the best tournament of the … Continue reading Edinburgh- Pirates take the plate!
Pirates officially promoted!!
After a solid win against the Kamis last night the Pirates were officially promoted to Div 4 softball! It's been a long time in coming after spending 3 seasons in Minors 2 league especially after coming third for the past two seasons. It looked as if our campaign for promotion was close to collapse after … Continue reading Pirates officially promoted!!
Champagne on hold. Maybe.
It was always going to be a tough game playing the Canary Cubs at their (crap) home pitch, especially when we were short of players (Gids and Shaz- finger injury, Alice and Dave away, Sohan taking a tactical sub). Chris had to dig deep into Pirate alumni to find the 5th girl and luckily managed … Continue reading Champagne on hold. Maybe.
Pirates on verge of promotion!
After a thrilling came against the Tigers last night the Pirates came back from a 12-1 mauling after the 1st innings to win the game 26-25 in the 7th innings. It looked as if the Tigers were going to seriously dent our promotion chances as they batted their way through and forcing mistakes in the field. … Continue reading Pirates on verge of promotion!
