Matlock Tuesday League.
Home -31 May – 6.30pm – Matlock Golf Club.

You know how there are bogey teams in football well we have the same trouble playing the Golf Club. Perhaps we should challenge them to a round of golf, we may achieve a better result, as it was we did not win, but we didn’t lose either. We managed to contrive a draw with both teams winning two games each. Dawn A and Clara E winning in style 21 – 7. Edith and Dennis E also doing well winning 21 – 11. The least said about John B and Dot H the better. Suffice it to say John B is dropped next week and will be lucky if we see him on the green again this year. The final score was 60 points each. This kept us mid table.

• Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 7 June – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday League
Home – Bradwell B. – 2 June – 1.45pm.

Bradwell are just ahead of us in the League and as you know, dear reader, we have a number of players on holiday. However, this did not deter your fabulous village bowls team. (You watch we will fall down with a vengeance next week!).

Anyway carrying on this week’s match we had to have people ‘doubling up’ i.e. playing in the doubles and the singles as we only had 10 players. However for the first time in living memory we won all three doubles games, with the dynamic Dennis and Clara E winning 21 – 8. Not to be out done Rick M and Ian J matched their score. Edith R and Audrey B although only winning by one point managed the hat trick of wins for us. Parwich 63, Bradwell 36.

Could our singles team do an equally good job, well sort of? The result was three games each, but when you have got Rick M and Dawn A doing their stuff the opposition capitulated and we won by 74 points to 62. The overall result was Parwich 137, Bradwell 98. This will mean that we will climb above Bradwell in the League.

Next week we play the top team so the banana skin is already in place.

• Next match – Away – Bakewell – 9 June – 1.45pm.
