PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Only one league match this week, but the Robins were twittering, the Greenaway exciting and the league match well find out more below dear reader.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league
Home – Matlock Golf Club – 11 August – 6.30pm.

Having played the Golf Club in the Thursday League last week and been soundly beaten it was imperative that we tried to reverse the result in this League. Obviously the format is very different, as indeed are the players, however to keep pressure on the top two teams, good play was required. The team did not disappoint, Dennis and Clara E will have to be known as the ‘comeback kids’. Last week they were losing really well and then won 18 straight points. This week they were 14 – 3 down and only lost 21 – 19. They just won’t give in. This was the only game we lost. Dawn and Dot played a blinder and won 21 – 8, and Rick and Edith won 21 – 11. Pat and John B also won 21 – 18. When all was added up we won 82 – 58. Bearing in mind the maximum you can score is 84, this was our best result for some time. We were 25 points behind the second team in the Division so dependent on results we might close the gap a bit. Cross everything next week as we are playing the top of the league and on their patch.

• Next match- Away – Hathersage – 18 August – 6.15pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League

No league match this week, but a great replacement the Greenaway Charity Competition. The Greenaway centre in Darley Dale does marvellous work for people less able than us. If you need that old chair re-caned or some printing done then that’s the place to go. In the past Parwich players have done well in the competition with the likes of Ron Birch and John B winning. This year we came close again. John B was knocked out in the second round. Tony A got to the quarter final, but Rick M (he who plays with Edith) got all the way to the final playing with Phil Meacham from the Hazelwood club. They were eventually beaten, but at least little Parwich was nearly there again. Next year perhaps? The main winner as always was the Greenaway Centre who will benefit from over £1000 raised on the day. Now that is a result.

• Next match – Home – Wirksworth – 20 August – 1.45pm.

Last Sunday the Robins were rocking again, particularly in the guise if Rick M. You can’t keep a good man down. Rick won the main competition for the second year running with Tony A winning the Plate side. Well done the pair of you. More Robins of some description next year no doubt.
