11 April 2011 -Week 2.

Having started off with a win in week 1 we came down to earth with a bit of gentle bump. We were away in both leagues.

Tuesday league – 12 April – Away – Lafarge.
The format of this league is 4 doubles games, first to 21. We won two and lost two. This team were only just relegated from the higher division last year so the result of 76 to Lafarge and 70 to Parwich was really good. It was also a good job we were at Lafarge. Although we lost the match the individual games were close. In consequence it was very late by the time we had finished. Fortunately Lafarge have floodlights. Some of us have never played under floodlights, but it was really good.

Next match – HOME – Chatsworth B – 19 April 6.30pm start.

Thursday Friendly league – 14 April – Away – Baslow B.
Three doubles up to 21 and six singles up to 15. Total points available 154. We did not manage to win a doubles, although in one game we only lost 20 to 21. In the singles we shared the games 3 each. The final result was 125 to Baslow and 111 to Parwich. A very creditable score.
Next match – HOME – Wirksworth A – 21 April – 1.45 pm start.

Throughout the year we play friendly matches against teams from either different divisions or even different leagues. This Sunday we are going to Hazelwood for a match. They have over 150 members !!- oh if only some would come our way. The venue is also top class and we always look forward to going there to see how the other half live!!

We had a good practice on Monday night and again we had our two young men having a go. You would not believe how much the two improved. Our new lady member also did so much better. Keep coming you guys.
Don’t forget to come along on Monday night, about 6.30pm.
