Already the first month of the bowls season has gone. Does anybody know what happened to April?
Tuesday league – 3 May – Home – Whitworth Park A.
We have made a great start in this league and after three matches we were top of the division. Whitworth Park had been relegated from the higher division last year, but are still a very good team. Having had two maximum scores in the previous weeks we were ambitiously going for a hat trick. Ah well, we can dream. We won two of the four games and lost the others. The overall score was a loss 67 to 71. We have dropped from top spot to fourth in the league.
Next match 10 May – Away – Matlock Bath.
Thursday Friendly league – 5 May – Home – Matlock Golf Club.
Having reached the dizzy heights of top in the Tuesday League we are struggling in this league and our performance against the Golf Club did nothing to help our place. Although we only won one of the doubles games we in fact scored more points than our opponents. Unfortunately in the singles games we only won two out of six. The overall result therefore was a loss, 118 to 122. Our position in the league will at best remain at fourth from bottom.
Next match 12 May – Away – Bradwell.
On this coming Sunday we have a friendly match against Ellastone. These are very informal matches and you play as much or a little as you like. The Match starts at 2.00pm and carries on until about six’ish.
Don’t forget Monday nights 6.30.
