Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
Getting towards the end of the season, only four matches left after this week in both the leagues we play in. At least we managed to stop the win one lose one sequence, although we did get beaten very comprehensively in one match.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – Chatsworth – 6 August.
We were beaten fair and square on the Chatsworth green in May. Time for us to try to reverse the scores. We did manage to win three out of the four games. Dawn and Edith in their game were losing 7 – 0, but went on to win 21 – 8. What a result. In the remaining games we won two comfortably and the third we got 16 points to 21, again a good result. Having won last week with a score in the mid seventies it was good to repeat the score to an even better degree winning in the end 79 – 58. This was an almost exact reversal of the score when we played at Chatsworth.
- Next match – Away – Buxton Park – 13 August 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Matlock Bath – 9 August 2013.
We cancelled this match from Thursday until Friday, however the result was going to be the same whenever we played. The green at Matlock Bath is the smallest we play on and is in the shape of a fifty pence piece with humps and hollows all over the green ( getting the excuses ready!). In the doubles we were behind 63 to 32. Normally we can get our act together in the singles, but not this week. We only managed to win two out of the six games. Val had a really good win 15 – 4 and John H squeezed through 15 – 14.We lost the remaining games with a final score 78 to 71. The overall score was 141 to Matlock and 103 to Parwich, our lowest score of the year. No match next week, we play the annual Greenaway Charity Games. Good fun and more importantly for a good cause.
- Next match – Home – Hathersage – 22 August – 1.45pm.
Sunday has us all down at Parsons Croft playing in the ladies and men’s singles. Come on down at about 2.00pm
