The first matches of the new season took place this week at Parsons Croft with not very auspicious results.

The club plays in two leagues – The Matlock and District Tuesday League and the Matlock and District Thursday Friendly League. As those of you who went to University will note we play on a Tuesday and Thursday on a home and away basis. The season for both leagues end in early September.

Tuesday league. – Matches usually start at 6.30 pm.

Home to Matlock Golf Club.

It was a very close match. Each team is made up of 8 members and 4 ‘doubles’ matches are played. First pair to 21 wins the match. Parwich won two matches and lost two matches. The overall result was a win for the Golf Club 70 points to 69.

The next match is away to Chatsworth.

Thursday league. – Start time 1.45 pm.

Home to Wirksworth.

These matches consist of three games of doubles – first to 21 and six games of singles – first to 15.

We nearly had to concede games, as the minimum number of players required is 6. We just made the required number of players.

Although we lost the match overall, considering our scarcity of numbers, we did reasonably well. We won the doubles games by 60 points to 50, but lost the singles games by 84 points to 62. Giving an overall result of a win for Wirksworth 134 points to 122.

The next match is away coincidentally to Chatsworth.

We are having practice meets down at Parsons Croft on Monday evening at 6.30 pm until 7.30 – 8.00 pm. Why not come down and have a go. We could certainly use new members and players.
