Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

I suppose the wheels had to come off some time or other, it is a shame that all four came off at the same time in the same week!

Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – 28 May – Buxton Park.

It did not help matters as it was a Tuesday, its bowls, its Parwich, its raining. The playing conditions were really atrocious. Buxton Park had been in the top division for some years and were relegated last season. We knew that they had been playing well, but did not expect them to beat us so convincingly. Out of the four doubles games we only managed to win one, thanks again to Rick and Edith. Two of the games were close, but in the end Buxton won 75 to Parwich 63. At the moment we are very close to being bottom of the division, I suppose hopefully the only way is up!

• Next match – Home – Buxton Park – 28 May 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Hathersage – 30 May.

We could not carry on winning in this League, and we came a cropper with a vengeance against Hathersage. They again had been relegated from the top division and we were put to the sword. We did not win any doubles games and only managed to win one singles game. Suffice it to say Hathersage scored more than 150 points and we scored less than 100! Definitely we won’t be third in the League after this result. It’s probably just as well we lost as there could have been a distinct possibility we could have been promoted if we had kept up our winning streak.

• Next match – Home – Matlock Park – 6 June – 1.45pm.

No Club or friendly matches this weekend, but don’t forget if you want a ‘go’ on the green give a member a call and we will gladly have a few ‘ends’ with you. It looks like the weather is going to be a little kinder this weekend so what better than a meander round a bowling green.
