PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Having had pulverised Parwich last week we had pulsating Parwich, thankfully, this week. We needed to do well in the Tuesday league and even better in the Thursday league, so read on to excite your bowling senses!

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Matlock Bath – 30 June – 6.30pm.

As you may recall this green is shaped like a fifty pence piece and has all sorts of dips and humps. In terms of league position we are marginally ahead of them. Of the four games in the match we managed to win three. The magical Edith and Rick sorted out their opponents 21 – 11. Dawn, playing with John B again (he needs his hand held bless him) came back again from the brink of defeat to snatch a win 21 -20. To put the icing on the cake Harry B and Val K won 21 – 18. Unfortunately Dennis and Clara E couldn’t manage a win, but put up a great fight against a very good pair. The final result was a Parwich win 73 – 70. This will keep us slightly ahead of Matlock and may even keep us in our current fourth position in the league. Next week we are playing a team trying for promotion so it will be a hard match.

• Next match- Away – Matlock Park – 7 July – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Youlgrave – 2 July – 1.45pm.

Those of you who read this stuff may well recall the elephant buried under Youlgrave’s  green, well we needed to play at our absolute best on our green to overturn the very poor result on that green. We didn’t do too badly. We tried really well in the doubles with Liz H and Harry B doing their stuff to win 21 – 11. Unfortunately this was our only win, but we got close. 53 to 46 in favour of Youlgrave. The maximum you can score in the six singles is 90, we only got 89! Rick M and John B winning to 3 and 6. The final score was 135 – 113 to Parwich somewhat easing our dismal showing on their green. We are currently bottom of the league and I fear that even after this great win we will still be holding everybody up.

• Next match – Away – Bradwell – 9 July – 1.45pm.

This week we will be having a Club match on Sunday at 2.00 pm. Come and have a look.

Good tea and cake to die for!!
