Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

Week 4 – So far we appear to be doing quite well. Having said that we did start off last year really well, but tailed off towards the end of the season. Must be something to do with being age’d ‘p’s. Anyway two good wins.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – 30 April – Bakewell.

I have mentioned before the strange elongated green that Bakewell play on causes us and others not to play so well against them, well we bucked the trend this week. We managed to win three out of the four games. Pat and Clara had a stonker, and they won 21 to 7. Edith and Rick had their usual gem of a game. Anyway the final outcome was Parwich 70, Bakewell 55.

• Next match – Home – Whitworth Park – 7 May 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Baslow – 2 May.

Don’t say it too loudly, but in this league we have played four, won four. Must have been playing all the weak teams! However win or lose you could not have had too many better afternoons to laze a few hours away and to top it all we won! For once the weather was glorious. We only won one of the three doubles and trailed 61 – 48.

In the singles however we won 5 out of 6. Because Baslow had one fewer player than us we also got a bonus of three points giving us an overall win 136 to 123.

• Next match – Home – Wirksworth – 9 May – 1.45pm.

Can we keep our good form in the Thursday League up? Why not have a meander down to the Green and have a look. It won’t cost you anything and we will even give you a cup of tea and a biscuit.
