PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

What has happened to the weather?. The season started in a blaze of sunshine both on and off the greens, but brass monkeys have been very prevalent of late. At least we are winning every now and again. To coin a phrase however, ‘it’s a funny old game’

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Youlgrave – 12 May – 6.30pm.

Now those of you with good memories will recall that Youlgrave have an elephant buried in the middle of their green and you do need pitons sometimes to climb over the hump. Now you would think that if we win three out of the four games that an overall win would follow, nay not so on this green. Dawn A and John B won 21 – 14 and Sue A and Dennis E 21 – 16. Our Edith with her hurty, hurty knee won with Tony A. Unfortunately our fourth pair lost very well and the final score was Youlgrave 71, Parwich 66. Considering the shellacking we got playing in the Thursday League, quite a creditable result. Can’t wait to get them on our green, it’s a funny old game.

• Next match- Home – Bakewell – 19 May – 6.30pm

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Whitworth Park B – 14 May – 1.45pm.

We were very thin on the ground for this match; what with holidays and illness we only had 9 players instead of the usual 12. As you will know we sometimes struggle in the doubles games, not today though. We were magnificent winning all three and giving us a score of 63 – 34. Now for our strong singles players to really put the icing on the cake. Whoops! We only won one singles game and did not do very well scoring wise in the ones we lost either. Only Dawn A managed a win. The final score however was a win for Parwich 120 – 116. It’s a funny old game.

• Next match – Home – Matlock Golf Club – 21 May – 1.45pm.

Another lovely afternoon last Sunday in our friendly with Hazelwood. The sandwiches and cake were to die for. You should have been there.
