PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Well you can tell that the teams we played this week are top of their respective leagues, we struggled all the way. We again are beset by lack of players six players were away and two were very walking wounded! If you think you can help us out please come and join us your bowls club needs you.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Hathersage – 2 June – 6.30pm.

Hathersage are streets ahead of all teams in the division. We were lying fourth in the division and needed to try our best and with depleted resources. However we do have a superb pair in Dawn A, our captain, and Dot H. Did they do us proud or what? They won 21 – 4, they could not have done anymore than they did. The rest of us had to try even harder so as not to let them down. Unfortunately we did not win any more games but we did accumulate enough points in losing to earn an extremely honourable draw. What a result for the tiny club of Parwich. The scores were 67 each and with the other results in the division in we are still fourth.

• Next match- Away – Chatsworth – 9 June – 6.30pm

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Hope Works A – 04 June – 1.45pm.

Again Hope Works are way ahead of any other team and if they carry on as they have been playing they will win the championship, we on the other hand need to keep going to see if we can stay in the top division. On today’s showing however we will struggle to say the least. We had walking wounded playing for all they were worth, but to no avail. We lost the doubles games 63 – 29. Because we were short of people, three players had to play in the singles games. Dot H carried on from Tuesday night’s match and stormed to a 15 – 8 win. Good onyer Dot, we were ever so glad you came. Our Captain John H also played on blinder winning 15 – 12 against one of their best players. Unfortunately try as the rest of us could we did not win any more games. The final result was Hope Works 143, Parwich 90. Considering our parlous state not a bad result really particularly if you say it quickly. We were seventh out of twelve, but fear this will drop us down a place or two to say the least. At least the sun shone for once.

• Next match – Home – Bakewell – 11 June – 1.45pm.

A good time was had by all last Sunday being well entertained by Ashbourne Park. These Friendly games are very good fun, and the teas that are provided are to die for!
