Mixed fortunes this week. We seem to be doing well in one league but are struggling in the other.
Tuesday league
10 May – Away – Matlock Bath
This is a very strange green almost shaped like a fifty pence piece and the humps and hollows are something else. We did however play really well winning three out of the four games and only just loosing the fourth. The outcome therefore was that we managed a really good win away from home 82 to 58. This puts us back up to second in the league.
Next match 17 May – Home – Bradwell.
Thursday Friendly league.
12 May – Away – Bradwell.
The situation of the Bradwell green is really lovely. And on summer evenings you can see the gliders and hang gliders coming over the escarpment. Magical. Anyway although the venue is great we don’t do well against Bradwell. This match did not improve our record. We unfortunately lost all three of the doubles games, but did manage to share the singles games three each. The final result was 126 to Bradwell 110 to us.
Next match 19 May – Home – Tideswell.
We had a very nice afternoon last Sunday playing a friendly match against Ellastone. The weather was lovely and sunny and the afternoon tea was spectacularly good! This Sunday we have a club competition, open singles. Why not come along and have a look at what you are missing down at Parsons Croft around 2.00pm.
Don’t forget Monday nights at 6.30.
