PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Well it’s beginning to get critical now as we are still doing rather well in the league. Fortunately we only had one match this week although the Open Doubles on Thursday was a good afternoon.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Buxton Park – 22 July.

As I mentioned last week this team did not beat us in the first half of the season, we never had a look in! So far they are the only team who have inflicted a loss on us. We needed to play at our best as they are also top of the league. The first two games ended one each and the points score was Parwich 35, Buxton 36, couldn’t be closer.

Our illustrious leader and Captain Dawn A, as always more than ably assisted by Dot H, started to pull us ahead and finished up winners by 21 – 15. You do not need me to tell you how the immensely talented Edith and the remorseless Rick did in the final game romping home winners by 21 – 6. Not only did we avenge our defeat of earlier in the season, but won by a handsome 77 – 57. This will not affect the league positions, but will hopefully keep us there or there abouts. We will definitely have to start losing.

• Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 29 July – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Blank week this week.

Instead we played our Open Doubles competition. What a great afternoon, not only was the weather good, but the bowls was even better. After some close matches Dennis E and Dawn A came out on top. A good day was had by all. A pity that more people did not see it.

• Next match – Away – Matlock Bath – 31 July.

We entertained Ashbourne Park last Sunday and again we had a most enjoyable afternoon. The tea was fabulous and the bowls was even better. You really missed a treat on all counts.
