PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

As mentioned last week we played the top of the division this week and for once this year the weather was very kind to us for both matches. We even had a visitor on Monday night at our open evening, whatever next!

Matlock Tuesday bowls league
Home – Chatsworth A – 10 June

Chatsworth top of the division and unbeaten so far this year, until they met Parwich that is. The games were shared two each, but our wins were by a greater margin than theirs, hence our great win. Edith and Rick leading the way as usual, but all in all a really good team performance. We came out winners by 74 – 67. Believe it or not next week will be the last game in the first half of the season. Where did the first ten weeks go!

• Next match – Away – Ashwood Park – 17 June – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League
Home – Whitworth Park – 12 June

You need 12 players in this league to make a full team, unfortunately we were short by two people and in consequence we were deducted 6 points as a penalty. First time this has happed this year. Anyway our spectacular 10 not only did us proud, but won the match handsomely as well. Our doubles pairs only just lost 47 – 51. As very often happens our singles players came through with flying colours 87 – 44. With the reduction in our score by the six points we won 128 – 95.

• Next match – Away – Bakewell – 19 June – 1.45pm.

No Club matches now until July so come on down on Monday nights otherwise you will be forced to watch the World Cup on the Idiots Lantern.
