PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

So after 24 years disaster has struck the Bowls Club, the second hand wheelbarrow we had at the start has given up the ghost. They don’t make ‘em very well do they. Anyway has anybody got a wheelbarrow they don’t want or use, because we could certainly give it a good home? Down to more mundane things like bowls we had two good wins.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Bakewell – 1 July.

Very unusual green, as I have said no such thing as a crown on the green, just lots of ripples. We managed to win three of the four games with John B and Dennis E winning 21 – 10. Dawn and Dot also came in well with a 21 – 11 win. For once Rick and Edith, although they won, were not as sure as usual, but a win is a win. The overall score was Parwich 72, Bakewell 56. Hopefully this will maintain our fourth place in the league.

• Next match – Home – Matlock Bath – 8 July – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Chatsworth – 3 July.

Having played our best match last week we hoped that we would keep up the good form this week. The match did not start well for us as we only managed to win one of the three doubles games. Still we were just about in touching distance trailing 62 – 48. The singles did not start well either as we lost the first two games, however the games were close. The last three games gave us the edge with Rick M winning 15 – 1 and Dawn A 15 – 3. The score was 83 – 55 to Parwich. This gave us an overall result of 131 – 117.

In next week’s match we are being given Royal patronage as we are playing in Matlock Park. (Well the Queen is visiting Matlock on that day and we can dream!). Anybody got any ideas on Parking?

• Next match – Away – Matlock Park – 10 July – 1.45pm.

DON’T FORGET WE COULD REALLY DO WITH A NEW(ER) WHEELBARROW.
