PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
The stalwarts of the green sward are back in action after their winter break. We even have a couple of new members who will be swinging their arm this year. Unfortunately the bowls training course does not appear to be in place yet. Not sure if we can get sufficient numbers for the organisers to come to Parwich. I will keep you informed. So with the first sighting of a swallow we have come out of hibernation as well with our first game this week.
Matlock Tuesday League.
- HOME -First match 12 April – 6.00pm Bakewell.
Tough first match this come down to Parsons Croft and support us.
Matlock Thursday League.
Home – 7 April – Baslow.
Now as you aficionados of this very fast moving game will remember there are effectively two elements to the Thursday League matches, doubles and singles. So just as a reminder and to those who are not aware (where have you been for the past twenty years) doubles are three pairs played up to 21, and six singles played up to 15.
It was good to see Ian J back playing and now living back in Parwich. He played with Dennis E and although they did not win they came very close just losing out by four shots 21 – 17. A similar score was achieved by Liz H and Clara E. The icing on the cake, or should that be the hailstones on the green! Sue A and Pat B coming home winners by 21 – 10. This gave us a lead of 55 – 52. Considering the weather the games were played in a really good score.
How is it that people who are good at sport and particularly this game can search around for their woods which have been unceremoniously dumped at the back of the cupboard under the stairs at the end of last season and play as though no break occurred. We, thankfully, have a few who play for us who fall within this category of superstars! Edith, Rick, and Dawn whilst scoring 45 points only had 15 scored against them. John H and Harry B also scoring 30 points to 11 against them. The final singles we won’t go into, hard luck John B! The final score after the six singles was Parwich 82, Baslow 41. Can’t be bad.
Overall Parwich 137, Baslow 93. Didn’t we do well.
Next match
- Away – Whitworth Park – 14 April – 1.45pm.
