Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

Only a few matches left in both the leagues we play in. One win and a narrow loss this week.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – Wirksworth – 20 August.

Having lost quite well last week we hoped that in our match this week we could redeem ourselves a little, and boy did we do so. Only once before this year had we managed to win all four games and thereby score the maximum points available. We won all four this week and gain our revenge for our defeat on the Wirksworth green. The result was Parwich 84 –Wirksworth 62. This win should keep us in our halfway position in the division. Only two matches left in this league.

• Next match – Away – Hathersage – 27 August 6.15pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Hathersage – 22 August – 1.30pm

In our match against Hathersage in May we suffered our worst defeat for a long, long time. We were determined not to suffer a similar defeat on our green and although we lost it was only just. Our new members Tony and Sue played a great game and won convincingly. Unfortunately our other doubles pairs did not do so well. We were 59 to 41 down. In the singles games we won four out of the six and nearly pulled off a really good comeback, but it was not to be. We lost by two points 123 to 125. Not bad considering we lost by in excess of 70 points at Hathersage earlier in the season.

• Next match Away – Matlock Park – 29 August – 1.45pm.

No more club matches left this year so if you want to see great bowls you will have to come down to Parsons Croft for the last couple of home matches.
