PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Sometimes there is greatness and sometimes greatness is thrust upon us, with Dennis and Clara E being thrust upon the most lately. Although we only won one match it was certainly the one to win.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away -7 June – 6.30pm – Whitworth Park.

The games were shared two each, but of course you know points win matches and we gained fewer than our opponents. Clara E and Pat B battled away and won 21 – 17. Rick and Edith also had a good win 21 – 16. Our esteemed Captain Dawn A partnered by Dot H also played really well only to lose 21 – 17. In the final game against Whitworth’s best pair we could only manage 6 points. The final score was Whitworth 75, Parwich 65. It could be that we will drop down a little in the league. Just as a reminder John B was dropped from a great height following last week’s defeat. Whether he will ever appear in Parwich colours again is debateable.

• Next match – Home – Chatsworth – 14 June – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday League
Away – Bakewell – 9 June – 1.45pm.

Talk about thrusting greatness you really do need to see Dennis and Clara E play bowls lately. (David Bryant eat your heart out – He was a very famous bowls player). As avid readers of this twaddle know Bakewell are top of the League and have not been beaten on their green this year. However Parwichians to the fore. John and Liz H only just back from the Costa Packet came back from what looked like certain defeat to win 21 – 20. Then of course we have Dennis and Clara E who stormed to a fabulous win 21 – 12. Although our final pair lost, Audrey B and Ian J kept pegging away. However we were in the lead 55 – 53.

Singles up next and we won four out of the six games with Dawn A having a stonking win 15 – 4. Parwich 84, Bakewell 67. So there it was a great if a little unexpected win 139 – 120. We were a fairly comfortable third in the League and this win should keep us there. Bakewell, although losing, were so far in the lead in the League that this defeat will not affect their place.

• Next match – Home – Matlock Bath – 16 June – 1.45pm.

Hope you are going to come down to Parsons Croft on Saturday to help the celebrations for HRH. You can have crack on the Green. We are also having a club knockout Mixed Doubles game on Sunday at 2.00pm, so again meander down to the Green watch the best do their stuff and have a cup of tea.
