PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

It was a pity that more people did not go to the Parish Meeting. Perhaps we will have to drag possible members kicking and screaming to the green. Anyway one unexpected good win and one not so unsurprising loss.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league
Away – Youlgrave – 20 May

We have not played on this green for many years; they have been playing in the top division in the league. Some years ago they also put what can best be described as a ‘camels hump’ in the green. To say you need a sat nav to play on there is an understatement. The game did not start well with Dawn and Dot 11 -3 down in just a few ends. However, o ye of little faith, they came back and finished winners by 21 – 15. We won two of the other three games and came out on top by 78 – 60. Considering the trepidation with we were approaching the match, what a result. Hopefully we can start climbing up the league a bit.

• Next match – Home – Matlock Golf Club – 27 May – 6.30pm

Matlock Thursday Friendly League
Away – Chatsworth A – 22 May 2014

We have been doing quite well in this league, winning a few and losing a few. This week was ‘losing a few’. They are top of the league and showed us no mercy. We lost two of the three doubles games, but Harry B and Ian J played really well to win 21 – 13. Despite this however, we were behind 55 – 38.
We shared the six singles three apiece with Edith providing us with a great 15 – 5 win. The final outcome was a win to Chatsworth 121 – 105. At least the rain held off!!

• Next match – Home – Lafarge – 29 May – 1.45pm

We have the first of our ‘friendly’ games this Sunday. Ashourne Park are entertaining us. Should be good.

Even though it’s a Bank Holiday we will be on the green at around 7 o’clock on Monday. Come and have a try I dare you!!
