PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

No new humans have landed on the green this Monday, must have been a good football match on the idiots lantern. Thinking about it that is a contradiction in terms. Anyway back to a proper game, one and a half wins this week.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Wirksworth – 24 June.

The fixtures computer threw a wobbly this week as we played Wirksworth twice. At present they are just ahead of us in the league and we needed a good result. Although we won three out of the four games the one we lost was by some margin, hence the half win, it was a draw 70 points each. This of course will not improve our position in any way and may, dependent on how teams below us do, drop us a place or two. Difficult match next week against a team second in the league. Still we are just about holding our own.

• Next match – Away – Bakewell – 1 July – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Wirksworth – 26 June.

We very nearly had a hat full in this match, even though we were a player short. For once our doubles pairs showed how they can play the game, winning two out of the three games and only just losing the third. We won all six of the singles games with John H the pick of the bunch winning 15 – 1, Dawn and Rick coming a close second. Because we were one player short we had to deduct 3 points from our score, but even so this still gave us an aggregate of 148 – 82, what a win, only 5 points away from a maximum. Don’t think we will have the same result next week though.

• Next match – Home – Chatsworth – 3 July – 1.45pm.

Great result also from Open Gardens last week, let us hope we have an equally good time during Wakes Week.
