PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

A bit of a curates egg so far this season. We are winning and losing. Hopefully we won’t lose all our matches in the same League.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Matlock Park- 21 April.

We usually have a close match against Matlock Park and this week to some degree was no exception. We did win two games each, unfortunately their wins were by a greater margin than ours. Harry B and Valerie K set us off with a good win 21 – 18. Edith R and Tony A bettered that result winning 21 – 12. Our other two pairs tried valiantly, but just failed. The final score was Matlock 72, Parwich 61. We have a really hard match next week on a very big green. Keep your fingers crossed.

• Next match- Away- Wirksworth – 28 April- 6.30pm

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Bradwell A – 23 April- 1.45pm.

We were back on our own green this week thank goodness and in very good nick it is too. Our doubles pairs did us proud this week winning two of the three games. Pat B and Audrey B winning really well 21 – 8. Having been down by 14 – 1 at one point Dennis E and John H fought back to lose by only 21 – 16. Some recovery! Dawn A and Clara E won the final game 21 – 18. The final score therefore after the doubles games being 58 – 47.

Very tight singles games this week. Thankfully we managed to win four out of the six games. The best win we had was our Edith who managed 15 – 10, followed closely by Tony A and Harry B 15 – 11. The final score was Parwich 77, Bradwell 76.

Mathematicians amongst you will therefore have work out a win for us 135 – 123. So far too wins and a drubbing in this League. Not sure how we will cope next week against Hazelwood very big club, very good team.

• Next match – Away – Hazelwood – 30 April – 1.45pm.
