PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
So that’s it for another year. Don’t want to keep banging on but we really, really, really do need some new Club members next year. I can recall Ron Birch some years ago when I asked him when and where him and Ada were going on holiday he said it would have to wait until the end of the bowls season. This year now the final game has been played there is a mass exodus of Bowls Club Members going away on holiday! The problem is that if you play bowls for Parwich you cannot go on holiday or be ill and if you die you have to bring a certificate along to the Green to prove it.
Our final position for the Tuesday League was fourth. We were only 17 points from being second and gaining promotion to the higher division.
As you know the Thursday League was a bit beyond us this year, having been promoted, but what a final match we had. We won one of the three doubles, with our Captain John H putting together married couples in the games. Audrey and Harry B winning handsomely 21 – 9, Clara and Dennis E coming a close second in their game, and Liz and John H coming an even closer second. The scores meant that we were behind 51 – 43. You do have to watch some of our players to realise HOW GOOD THEY ARE. Pat B won 15 – 2, Edith won 15 -5, and Dawn won 15 – 6. The final singles score was Parwich 88 (out of 90), Matlock Park 55. This gave us a fabulous final result 131 – 106. Next year we will be in the lower division, but don’t bet on us not gaining promotion again.
Another year gone so I will set you fellas and ladies a challenge, come and see if you can get to double figures next year against some of the best players in the Matlock and District Leagues, You need to see how good some of our players are. If we are spared we will speak electronically to you next year.
By the way there are no parachute payments on relegation only hang gliding lessons!
