PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Only one league match this week because of the Greenaway Competition, and judging by the result of the one we played it was just as well.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Matlock Golf Club – 12 August.

Perhaps what we should have done was to challenge the opposition to a round of golf instead of bowls; we surely could not have done any worse. We only managed to win one game and that was our redoubtable pair Edith and Rick and even they struggled. From being second in the division a few matches ago we are plummeting down the table at a great rate of knots. The final score was Golf Club 69 Parwich 43. At least we played well up until the middle of the season. I can’t believe we have only three matches left and then that’s it until next April.

• Next match – Home – Bradwell – 19 August – 6.00pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Greenaway Charity Competition – 7 August.

As I mentioned last week this Competition is to try to raise much needed funds for the Greenaway Centre in Darley Dale. The weather is usually very kind to us and this year was no exception, it only rained very lightly for a short time. Our members have done well in past years, and have won the shield on quite a few occasions. Not to be this year though. You are given a partner for the Competition so it is very much the luck of the draw. Both Rick M and Ian J and Val K (playing together) were knocked out in the semi – final. Better luck next year hopefully. The Charity however will benefit from a shed load of money thanks to the Bowlers digging deep.

• Next match – Away – Hope Works, Hope. – 21 August.

We are playing our Round Robin Club competition this Sunday, starting at 10.30 at Parsons Croft. You are welcome to join us any time during the day.
