Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

To coin a phrase or two: ‘Now is the time to say goodbye. Now is the time to yield a sigh until we meet again some sunny day’. Well something had to be said on the last match of the season. It’s a pity we did not end the season with a good win let alone a poor loss!

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Last match – Away – Chatsworth – 12 September.

Chatsworth are nearly at the top of the league and needed a good win to perhaps secure promotion. We certainly did not hinder their cause. We did not win any of the three doubles games, indeed we were 39 points down before we knew it. Chatsworth 63, Parwich 24.

The singles again gave us valuable points. We won four out of the six games, but our opponents were digging in really well. Although we won the singles the deficit was too great to make up and the final score was Chatsworth 133, Parwich 99. We were approximately half way in the division, but with this heavy defeat we will almost certainly drop some places. Still we should not finish bottom!!

The indoor bowls season starts in early October so if you would like to give bowls a try in the nice warm atmosphere of Ashbourne Bowls Club contact a member of our club. It really is a good game and quite easy to play. The indoor mats are only 45 feet long so you do not have to be as strong as an ox to play.
