Thankfully we have had a change in fortune in one of the leagues we play in and in the other, although we lost, we tried very hard.

Tuesday League – 2 August – Home – Matlock Bath

After struggling for a few weeks in this league we finally managed to win, and what an emphatic win it was. We won three of the four games and the game we lost was only lost by one point. The result therefore was 83 to Parwich and 60 to Matlock Bath. Not so sure how we will get on next week – we are playing a very strong side.

Next match 9 August – Away – Bradwell.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League – 4 August – Away – Tideswell

The venue at Tideswell is really lovely, but for us it is a difficult place to play. They have lots of members in their club and their teams are always very strong. This week continued to prove the case. We thought we had done well in the doubles games only losing 50 to 41. However they obviously saved their better players for the singles games where we only managed to win two out of the six. The final result was 129 to Tideswell 98 to Parwich.

We do not have a match next week in the Thursday League as the ‘Greenaway’ competition takes place. This is the annual charity competition to support the Greenaway Centre in Darley Dale. The league players have managed to raise thousands of pounds for the centre over the years. Let us hope for another good day next Thursday.

On Sunday we play one of our own competitions, the Round Robin. It lasts all day as you will probably gather from the name each doubles pair plays all other pairs. The game starts at 10.30am this Sunday 7 August. Come down have a look.
