Whoops! I knew I spoke too soon. It did not rain and we lost both matches this week! Hope we have better results next week. I can’t believe we are half way through the season already.

Matlock Tuesday League.

Away – 12 June – Matlock Bath.

The green here is tiny and is shaped a bit like a 50p piece so there is no ‘corner to corner’ bowling. The contours are also very strange. You can send a bowl in a direction and the thing goes off on a totally different line. Suffice it to say we did not do well. Indeed we had our second worst score of the year so far. We only managed to win one game and did not do well in the three we lost! The final result was 81 to 58. This drops us to sixth place in the Division, exactly half way. Keep your fingers crossed for next week.

Next match – Home – Wirksworth – 6.30pm 19 June.

Thursday League.

Away – Baslow – 14 June.

Although we lost we did not achieve too bad a score, if that makes sense. We only won one of the three doubles games and shared the six singles three each. So though we lost we did get 119 points, which on some occasions is good enough to win a match. This time, however, Baslow got 137.

Next match – Away – Wirksworth – 21 June – 1.45pm.

In the Sunday competition Dot Hart played superb bowls to beat John Henbery in the final. The weather thankfully was kind to us and the tea sandwiches and cakes weren’t bad either.

Another competition this Sunday start 2.00pm. Not more tea and cakes to eat.
