PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Our opponents were very good teams this week and we managed one win and a very close second in the other match. Can you believe we are already a third if the way through the season.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Home -17 May – 6.30pm – Wirksworth.

Wirksworth were third in the League and are as you would expect a very keen team. Of the four games, we won three with Tony A and John B winning 21 – 2. Edith and Rick also had a great win 21 – 7. Dennis and Clara E battled away and finally came home winners 21 – 15. Although Sue A and Dot H lost it did not have too much effect on the score and Parwich won 70 – 45. Our mid table position may well improve this week. Tricky match next week at Matlock Bath on their 50 pence piece green.

• Next match – Away – Matlock Bath – 24 May – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday League
Home – Hathersage – 19 May – 1.45pm.

As I mentioned last week Hathersage were top of the league and we needed to be on top of our game to have any chance. A mention has also to be made of our latest player. Because ‘a star is born’. Can you believe Lynn C having played hardly any bowls at all played like a veteran? Partnered with Edith R, although they lost 21 – 13 they were playing against Hathersages best pair, what a result. Watch out everybody, Lynn C has arrived. She will be jumping out of hot air balloon baskets next. Our remaining pairs did not win, but Rick M and Clara E only just lost 21 – 18. After the doubles we were 21 points behind. The singles players put up a great come back and although only three were wins the other players came close. The final outcome was Parwich 123 Hathersage 126. Not bad for possibly the smallest Club in the League. Next week the elephants are on parade again, we are away to Youlgrave!!

• Next match – Away – Youlgrave – 26 May – 1.45pm.

The holiday season is upon us and we are critically short of players. We are 5 members short and bearing in mind we only have 14 registered players and we need 12 players for the Thursday League you do not have to be a mathematical genius to work out we are short. Anybody care to join Lynn C next week??
