Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

Having started the season poorly we managed to get better, however we appear, on occasions, to be going backwards with a vengeance.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – 31 July – Matlock Golf Club.

Have you ever played in a match or a sport where whatever you did you were on a hiding to nothing? This match was one of those. We did not play badly, but our opponents could do no wrong. The outcome of the match was never in doubt, Matlock won by a country mile and we had our worst score of the season. For the record Matlock 68, Parwich 44, our lowest score of the year. Looking at the fixture list I’m not sure we will do very much better next week. I suppose we can always take up double slalom canoeing or trap shooting!

Next match – Home – Whitworth Park – 7 August 6.30pm.

Thursday League.
Home – Chatsworth – 2 August.

At least we pulled ourselves together for this match. Chatsworth were third in the league, but we had a good win. In the doubles we only won one out of the three games and trailed by 54 to 38, but we had a cracking time in the singles winning five out of the six games. The overall final score was Parwich 124 to Chatsworth 115. Our average score this year in the Thursday League is 124 so we should remain about half way, all being well. No Thursday League match next week, it is the Annual charity competition to raise money for the Greenaway Centre. I’ll let you know how we get on.

Next match – Greenaway Charity Match – 9 August.

Lovely day last Sunday entertaining Ashbourne in a friendly. This Sunday we are playing our annual square robin competition. Not sure if the weather is going to be all that great though. We start at Parsons Croft at 10.30am. Bring your umbrella!
