Two losses this week, however, if a team can have a ‘good’ loss then we had one this week!
Tuesday League – 30 August – Away – Hathersage
As said on previous occasions this is a cracking venue. It’s a pity that they have such a good bowls team! They are second in the league and although we gave a good account of ourselves we were beaten by the better side 77 to 64. Even after this loss because other results favoured us we have managed to stay in fifth place in the league. Only one more match to play this season let us hope that we have a good game. We may even sneak into fourth.
Last match 6 September – Home – Whitworth Park
Matlock Thursday Friendly League – 1 Sept – Away – Lafarge (Hope)
Again a nice green, shame about the quarry silos! Although we only won one of the three doubles games we only were behind by 8 points. In the singles we won 4 out of the six singles and won this encounter by seven points. The overall result was therefore 128 to Lafarge and 127 to us. A good loss!
Last match 9 September – Home – Matlock Bath.
