Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

After last week’s dismal results we managed to put a couple of good matches together this week.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – Bradwell – 2 July.

The weather was not good for tonight’s match. We were only playing bowls what must it have been like for the runners in the Wakes Week hill race? Thankfully suitably adorned in thermal wellies and Long John’s, it is only July after all, we battled on!

Although we shared the games two each our losses were not as great as our opposition. In one game Dawn and Clara only lost by one point and of course we do have our Edith ably assisted by Rick who won 21 – 7. The final score finished Parwich 75 Bradwell 63. This win will hopefully lift us up a place, possibly two in the League.

• Next match – Away – Matlock Bath – 9 July 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Whitworth – 4 July.

It was a shame we only had a couple of people who came over to the Green on Wednesday night during the fun and games over on Parsons Croft. It is a pity that nobody seems to have any enthusiasm to join the Bowls Club. Anyway, we played again and did really well. In the doubles we only won one game, but still only finished one shot down over the three games. In the singles we came into our own winning four of the six games. Edith again had a stormer, winning 15 – 1. Felt quite sorry for her opponent. You should have tried harder Edith and won 15 – 0! Whitworth Park are a really nice bunch of people, but it was still good to beat them 134 – 109.

• Next match – Away – Tideswell – 11 July – 1.45pm.

On Sunday we have a Club competition down at Parsons Croft at 2.00pm. Come down and have a look.
