PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Thankfully we got back to winning ways, albeit by the smallest of margins in one match, but a win is a win as they say and anything was better than Christians and lions like last week.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league
Home – Whitworth Park – 13 May

As I said anything was preferable to last week’s embarrassment. We had a really good match. It was two games each, Edith and Rick producing the best score for us, as usual winning 21 – 10. Sue A and John B also scraped a win. At one point they were 15 – 5 down, but came out on top 21 – 20 and that point made all the difference as the final result was Parwich 73, Whitworth 72. Having plummeted from the giddy heights of top of the league to seventh, hopefully this win will halt the slide. It will need to as we are due to play Youlgrave on their green next week. It could be another massacre!

• Next match – Away – Youlgrave – 20 May – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League
Home – Matlock Bath – 15 May

There are some games that even if you lose you can enjoy the games and your opponents, playing Matlock Bath is one such fixture, add to that a good win as well and what more do you want out of life. After the three doubles we were 7 points behind, with Dennis E and Audrey B leading the way 21 – 11. Again our singles players did us proud winning 5 out of the six games. Tony A, Harry B, and Dawn A showing how it should be done. The score for the singles was a convincing 86 – 52 to Parwich giving an overall result of 132 to Parwich 105 to Whitworth Park. Good game equally good company.

• Away – Chatsworth – 22 May – 1.45pm.

The village annual meeting takes place next Wednesday and the Bowls Club will be there trying to drum up new members. Come and have a word next week.
