PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Phew- we managed to lose twice this week. One loss we could have done without in the Tuesday League, but the loss in the Thursday League will hopefully not have too detrimental effect on our push for higher things in the Crown Green bowling world.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away –Wirksworth – 2 August – 6.30pm.

We managed to beat Wirksworth at Parsons Croft quite easily, but on their very large green it was a different story. The games were shared two each with Rick and Edith leading the way as usual by winning 21 -10. Tony A and Dawn A came back from a losing position to win by 21 – 19. Unfortunately our other pairs did not fare with Clara E and John B going down 21 – 14. Similarly Harry B and Dot H also lost 21 – 10. The final score was Wirksworth 71, Parwich 66. Not a bad score really, we had slipped to seventh place in the league so there is a chance that these points will keep us there. Only five matches left in this league, where did the summer go. What summer I hear you cry.

• Next match – Home – Matlock Bath – 9 August – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday League
Away – Hathersage – 4 August – 1.45pm.

Until a few games ago Hathersage were hard on our heels in third place in this league, they had slipped to fourth. They had also beaten us at Parsons Croft earlier in the season. We did not do too badly in the doubles really and although we only won one of the three games by Ian J and Dennis E, we were confident. Hathersage 56, Parwich 41. Now a very rare thing happened in the singles because although we won four out of the six games we lost 71 – 70. The stars of the singles were Rick M and Pat B each winning 15 – 8. Final score Hathersage 127, Parwich 111. Not a complete write off. Only four league matches to go in this league so keep your fingers crossed that we manage to hang on to second place.

• Next league match – Home – Youlgrave – 18 August – 1.45 pm

Next week on Thursday we have 5 players taking part in the annual Greenaway charity match. This really is a good day and of course the best part is not only do you enjoy yourself, but the Greenaway Workshop in Darley Dale will benefit too.
