PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

The season is certainly going well. Better not speak too soon, however. Dennis and Clara E are rapidly becoming our star pair and the pair to be beaten by our opponents. So far they have won six games on the bounce. Bet I’ve given them the kiss of death now. Two really good wins though this week.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Howe -14 June – 6.30pm – Chatsworth.

Matching our best win of the season we won all four games. Dawn A was very magnanimous and allowed John B to play again. Just in case, she played with him so that she could sort him out if he went off the boil again. It worked because they won 21 – 7. This score was more than matched by Pat B and Harry B. Dennis and Clara E did a great job in coming home winners 21 – 19, again matched by Edith and Rick 21 – 19. This gave us the full house score of 84 to Chatsworth’s 52. Unfortunately we have a very eagle eyed League Secretary who picks up on every little detail and noticed we had put the wrong date on the score sheet! Both teams got a 10 point deduction! Talk about here’s a hair let’s split it. Next week we are away to one of the top sides in the league. Keep your fingers crossed.

• Next match – Away – Ashwood Park – 21 June – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday League
Home – Matlock Bath – 16 June – 1.45pm.

For the second time this year, and although we are still short of players because of holidays, we won all 3 doubles games. Dennis and Clara E did their stuff again winning 21 – 19. John and Liz H followed on from their success against the league leader’s last week and came home 21 – 10. Last, but by no means least Audrey B and Rick M won 21 – 18. Parwich 63, Matlock 47. The singles for once was extremely close even though we won 4 out of the 6 games. John H doubling up because of shortage of players won 15 – 9, with Rick M having to do the same winning 15 -11, matched by Edith. Dawn A as usual put in a good result for us winning 15 – 10. Parwich 72, Matlock 71. Phew! Final score Parwich 135 Matlock 118. We had managed to climb up to third in the League so this result should hopefully keep us there.

• Next match – Away – Baslow. – 23 June – 1.45pm.
