PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

So for two weeks running we have had a new person visit us on our Monday open evening. Will we get someone else this coming this Monday? Mixed fortune this week on the green, but at least the sun is still shining.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league
Away – Ashwood Park – 17 June

In the past this has proved to be one of our bogie greens. For some reason we have not done very well here, however this week was thankfully a whole new experience not only for them, but for us. We only lost one of the four games and even that one was reasonably close margin. Dennis E and John B leading the way week with a 21 – 6 victory. Next came the ever reliable Edith and Rick partnership winning 21-9. The final score was Parwich 76, Ashwood Park 52. We were fourth in league so hopefully this win will keep us there or thereabouts. This match took us to half way in the season. Let us hope we carry on as we are.

• Next match – Home – Wirksworth – 24 June – 6.30pm

Matlock Thursday Friendly League
Away – Bakewell – 19 June

For once we had more than 12 players this week, which makes a nice change. Bakewell green is long and very narrow and they have had a complete overhaul over the winter and what a difference it has made. The doubles again did not prove to be our best venture coming out 62 to 41 down. Even in the singles we were not at our best to start off with, but slowly we got our act together winning three games each and coming out on top 73 points to 63. As you will see though this was not sufficient for us to win the match finally going down 125 – 114.

• Next match – Away – Wirksworth – 26 June – 1.45pm

Don’t forget ‘Open Gardens’ on Sunday. Buy lots of cream teas and plants.
