PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

At least we did not lose both our matches this week, although the one we did lose we lost with a vengeance!

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Whitworth Park – 5 May

Usually we have good close games with Whitworth and although the match was good it certainly was not close. Out of the four games we only managed to win one. Captain fantastic Dawn and her great sidekick Dot sorted out the opposition and romped home 21 -14. If only our other pairs could have got up to even a trot it would have helped, but we lost very well. The score was Whitworth 77, Parwich 53. This result was even worse than the debacle at Wirksworth last week. We need to get ourselves together otherwise we will be bottom of the league. The snag is that next week we are playing at Youlgrave and those of you who read this twaddle will know that they have an elephant buried in the green. Wish us luck as we wave you goodbye.

• Next match- Away – Youlgrave – 12 May – 6.30pm

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Baslow A – 7 May – 1.45pm

Although we are playing in the giddy heights of the top division we are not bottom of the league, nearly but not quite. Baslow were second in the league and have played in this division for a long time. For once we could not get a full 12 people today. We could only muster 10, however what a team. After the doubles we were only 7 behind. Good start. Our singles players did us proud again with Rick M winning 15 – 5, closely followed by Tony A 15 – 8. All the remaining singles were very close, but we came out on top scoring 88 – 65. Only two off a maximum 90. The final score was Parwich 142, Baslow 126. What a result. Let us hope we can keep it up next week.

• Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 14 May – 1.45pm.

You missed a good afternoon last Sunday for those of you who did not turn up! Those of you who did had a good time and the tea and cake was a real bonus. This Sunday we are entertaining Hazelwood down at Parsons Croft for a friendly get together. Come along and watch – 2.00pm.
