Having been well and truly beaten in both Leagues last week we were looking to bounce back as they say this week. Well we bounced a little bit.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – 4 June – Wirksworth.

It was surprising how cold the evening was at Wirksworth particularly after the glorious day we had had. Wirksworth are usually a very strong side and this year proved no different than usual. We only managed to win one of the four games. Harry and Clara playing really well one 21 – 8, however wonder of wonders even Edith and Rick lost. They did come close however, losing 21 – 19 on the last end. The final result was a victory for the home team 75 – 67. Next week we are playing Hathersage. Let us hope we do not get beaten as badly as we did against their Thursday team.

• Next match – Home – Hathersage – 11 June, 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Matlock Park – 6 June.

Well at least we got back to winning ways in this League. We had fallen from the giddy heights of third place down to sixth following last week’s debacle. We again lost the doubles games two one, Clara and John H giving us a great win 21 – 6. Trailing by 48 – 43 after the doubles we again did really well in the singles games, although we only shared them three each. Our scores in the ones we lost, however, were considerably better than Matlock’s. We therefore came out winners by 127 – 111. We had three people come and watch us play today. One of them was Ron Twigg. Whenever the weather is half decent Ron will come and support us. Good on yer Ron.

• Next match – Away – Bradwell – 13 June – 1.45pm.

Club game this weekend with the open singles won brilliantly last year by Dot H. Can she defend her crown? Come along on Sunday at 2.00pm and see, you may even get a cup of tea.
