PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Following last week’s really good wins we needed to try and keep the momentum going this week. We partially succeeded, read on for this week’s thrilling instalment of Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club ‘their quest for success’.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Bakewell – 4 August – 6.30pm.

Having played last week the win took us up to third in the division, albeit by just one point. Bakewell’s green is long and thin with hardly any crown at all and as a team we struggle, but we did OK this time. Dawn and John B won their game 21 – 7, with Tony A and Harry B also having a good win 21 – 15. The Edith and Rick combo for once had a fight on their hands just sneaking home by 21 – 20. Dot H and Pat B were playing Bakewells best pair and they put up an equally good fight before coming second by 13 – 21. The overall result was Bakewell 63, Parwich 76. Dependent upon other team results we will stay third and may well reduce the gap to the team who are second. We will have to watch it though otherwise we will get promoted!!

• Next match- Home – Matlock Golf Club – 11 August – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Matlock Golf Club – 6 August – 1.45pm.

So you can’t have good wins every week, well we can’t anyway. The Golf Club are considerably ahead of us in the league. Come to think of it everybody is. After the doubles games we were trailing 36 – 55. This was after a game and a half by Dennis E and Audrey B who were 13 – 3 down, but came back to win 21 – 13. How about that. Unfortunately we were not at our best in the singles with only two of our six winning. Rick M won 15 – 10 and Dot H won 15 – 14. Well done you two. The final result though was a defeat 139 – 106. Still propping up the division. No league matches next week as it is the annual Greenaway Charity competition.

• Next match – Greenaway – 13 August.

Sunday sees us with a Club competition, the Round Robin. Having had a square one it’s good to get a round one. You ornithological peeps need to do some birding down at Parsons Croft this Sunday 10.30am.
