PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Can you believe we are more than a third of the way through the season already and we are just about holding our own, although one result this week was a bit of a letdown to say the least.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Matlock Golf Club – 26 May – 6.30pm.

It really would be good to play a Tuesday night match in a little warm sunshine. This evening was dull and overcast and blowing a cold cold gale at the Golf Club. The bowls though was hot. We shared the games two each with Dawn A and Dot H playing like they knew what they were doing to win 21 – 13. Harry B and Dennis E also came up with a 21 – 19 win and John and Pat B having led for most of the game just came up short in the end 20 – 21. Edith R is still suffering with her bad knee bless her but struggled on with an equally disabled Val K, only just losing. The games were long and close and the match did not finish until 9.30pm. Still a good win to Parwich 77 – 74. Hard match next week as we are playing the league leaders.

• Next match- Home – Hathersage – 2 June – 6.30pm

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Wirksworth – 28 May – 1.45pm.

For once the sun was shining; however we were not shining on the green. At one point I thought we may well be in for a maximum score against us. We had seven players missing this week with people on holiday or not well so we could only muster 9 instead of the required 12. Not sure whether we would have done any better had we had a full team. Anyway we were well and truly beaten in the doubles losing 63 – 26. We did rally a bit in the singles games although we only managed to win two games out of the six. However Dawn A and Rick M won handsomely to lead us to 74 – 70 for Parwich. As you will see though we lost 133 – 100, at least we got to 100. It’s the matches against the league leaders next week because we are playing the leaders in this league as well. Hope we get to more than 100 next week.

• Next match – Home – Hope Works – 4 June – 1.45pm.

A good time was had by all last Sunday and this Sunday should be equally good. We are going to Ashbourne Park for a friendly.
