PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
So having played the top teams in the respective divisions and dipped ourselves a crippler in one of the games we needed to bounce back with all haste, well we nearly did! At least the sun shone on us even if the result in one of our games didn’t.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Chatsworth – 9 June – 6.30pm.
Did we bounce back, well not exactly, more like a deflated balloon really. Thank goodness we had our Edith back in peak condition. Nearly peak condition her knee is still not right, however, that mattered not a jot as with her trusty partner Rick M they marmalised the opposition 21 – 5. Best not mention the score that John B and Dennis E got, but Edith’s crushing win only cancelled out their scoring loss!! Our other two pairs tried valiantly, but to no avail and we lost the match 68 – 56. Our position was fourth in the division, but this defeat will certainly drop us a place or two.
- Next match- Home – Ashwood Park – 16 June – 6.30pm
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Bakewell – 11 June – 1.45pm.
Having been well and truly beaten the past couple weeks a good win was essential as we had dropped to third from bottom in the league. Bakewell are having a good season and are third in the league. As you faithful followers of this prose know we can tend to struggle in the doubles games. Today we did not disappoint but Pat B and Sue A beat one of the best pairs in the league 21 – 18. How about that! Our other two pairs did not disgrace themselves either and after the three games we were only 12 points down. In the singles we shone again winning four out of the six. Edith again strutting her stuff to win 15 – 5, followed closely by her Tuesday doubles partner Rick M who won 15 -7. What a pair. The singles results gave us an 80 – 60 advantage which took us through to an overall win by 128 – 120. Although this is a really good result I don’t think it will lift us out of our dire position. Keep your fingers crossed for next week.
- Next match – Away – Matlock Park – 18 June – 1.45pm.
