Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

By a quirk in the bowls fixtures mega computer, we play Wirksworth quite a few times in the next few days. Three to be precise, but first congratulations to Edith Rider and Dawn Allsopp for winning the Open Doubles last Sunday, beating Rick Manning and Pat Barnett in a very close final. Having lost both matches last week, thankfully we are back to winning ways, albeit only just.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – 19 June – Wirksworth.

I suppose a win is a win, but this was close. Both teams won two games each. Fortunately the points tally was just in our favour. We scraped through 66 to 63. We were exactly half way in the division, but I think this low scoring win will drop us down a place or two. I have no doubt that Wirksworth will seek to extract some revenge against us in next week’s match.

Next match – Away – Wirksworth -26 June  6.30pm.

Thursday League.
Away – Wirksworth – 21 June.

We were very lucky with the weather on Thursday afternoon. Missed the rain altogether. Perhaps we should flip a coin for the doubles games, as we never seem to get it together. Today was no exception. We lost two out of the three games, giving a score of 58 to 43 to our opponents.

In the singles we not only managed to address the 15 point deficit, but change it to a 20 point advantage, winning 69 to 49. The overall result was a win to Parwich by 112 to 107.

Next match – Home – Chatsworth – 28 June – 1.45pm.

No Sunday match this week as it’s Open Gardens, so make sure you buy a programme and a delicious cream tea. Enjoy the day.
