We have been having a fair amount of success of late. This week we had mixed fortunes: winning one match, but losing the other.
Tuesday league.
23 August – Away – Bakewell.
Bakewell were ahead of us in the league and we always do not play well on their green. The green is long and thin, not the usual square. Anyway, we managed to win three out of the four games and came out winners at 71 to 46. Because of this handsome win, we have overtaken them in the league and have moved up to fifth place. Next week, the penultimate match of the season: we are away to the top of the league!
Next match: 30 August – Away – Hathersage.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Again, Whitworth Park are a strong team – and so it proved in the match. We only managed to win one of the three doubles, and we shared the six singles three each. The result was therefore 125 to Whitworth and 115 to us. Not a bad score, considering we lost.
Next match: 1 September Away – Lafarge, Hope.
– John B.
