PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Second week of the season and the weather was a little kinder to us this week. We also had occasion for the team to appear on the television again putting the style gurus right on how to deliver a wood (well done John H, lovely action). In addition expounding words of wisdom regarding building in villages, well I think that’s what it was. So not only can you get exercise, but you can become a TV star as well.

Matlock Tuesday League.
HOME -12 April – 6.00pm-Bakewell.

I must confess that the weather on the night left a little to be desired, but the team kept battling the elements. Again just as a reminder the format for the match is 4 doubles played up to 21. The first two games were shared one each with Sue A and Harry B just missing out 21 – 16. The second game was well won by Dawn A and Tony A 21- 15. Couldn’t be tighter. The final two games were won by Parwich with the last game being played by Edith and Rick (remember them from last year) in virtual darkness. Good job the pair of them like carrots. The results were Pat and John B winning 21-15 and Edith and Rick 21-18, giving us an overall win by 79 – 69.

• Next match: Away – Cote Heath – 19 April – 6.00pm.

Matlock Thursday League.
AWAY – 14 April – Whitworth Park.

Having started so well in the doubles games last week it was a shame we didn’t keep up the scores this week. We were well down on our opponents after the games, but I don’t think we had the rub of the green. The singles turned out to put us a little nearer though. We managed to win 5 out of the six games. Edith and Rick carrying on from Tuesday night winning each of their games 15 – 7. The final score, however, resulted in a small loss 124 – 115. It would be good if, when we lost, we could score such a good number of points.

At least the East Midlands Today interview was a cracker.

• Next match: HOME – Whitworth Park – 14 April – 1.45pm.

So having started the new season we have arranged a bit of a get together on Saturday (16th). Nothing special, but just a chance to send a few woods over the green for bit of fun. Come down to Parsons Croft at around 2.00pm and enjoy yourself.
