PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Quite a rollercoaster of a ride this season one week we are playing really well and the next week we are being well beaten. This week unfortunately it’s the latter. However we did try against teams a lot higher than us in the league. The fact that we are bottom of the Thursday league and everybody is higher than us is immaterial!

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Matlock Park – 7 July – 6.30pm.

Back to Matlock again this week. Matlock are a very safe second in the league and almost certain to be promoted, we on the other hand had slipped on ‘goal’ difference to fifth, which for us would be a good place to finish. The green is in the riverside park in Matlock and the public stop and gaze at the goings on on the green, particularly the visitors from down south who play the ‘other’ form of bowls. All of this verbiage is to avoid letting you know we lost 77 – 58. There were a couple of good Parwich games, Rick and Edith coming back from 10 nil down to win 21 – 14. What a gem of a pair they are. Similarly Pat and John B down 15 – 5 coming back to lose 21 – 15. Not bad really. Our fifth place is in jeopardy after this result though.

• Next match- Home – Wirksworth – 14 July – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Bradwell – 16 July – 1.45pm.

The weather was really good for the match, which is about all you can say. Try as we may we lost the three doubles games leaving us trailing 63 – 32. We shared the six singles three each with Rick M leading the way winning 15 – 4. John B and Edith also coming on strong with good wins. Unfortunately these wins were not enough to get us anywhere near Bradwell. The score for the singles was 74 – 73 to Bradwell, giving a final score of 137 – 105. So we will still be propping up the league. We like the lower league anyway!

• Next match – Home – Hazelwood – 16 July – 1.45pm.
