PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Last week’s glorious weather was followed by the heavens opening on Thursday and the match having to be abandoned. Having played bowls for more years than I care to remember this is the first time a match has been called off.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – Whitworth Park – 23 August – 6.00pm.
Early starts now, it is quite amazing how quickly the nights are drawing in and we haven’t even got passed August yet. Whitworth were a fair way ahead of us in the league, 19 points to be exact so we needed to try our best. We managed to win three of the four games and came a close second in the other. Dot H propping up John B again won 21 – 9. Dawn A and Tony a won 21 – 12 with the ever reliable Edith and Rick chipping in with a 21 – 16 win. Adding the 15 points we got in the fourth game gave us a win 78 – 58. Now you maths buffs will have already clocked that we won by 20 points and thus have overtaken our opponents in the league! Only two more matches left in this league now.
- Next match – Away – Chatsworth – 30 August – 6.00pm.
Matlock Thursday League.
Away – Bradwell – 25 August – 1.45.
So for the first time that I can recall the match had to be called off. It sheeted down! Unlike the cricket we unfortunately do not have recourse to the Duckworth- Lewis method to decide who has won the match so we will have another go next Wednesday. Perhaps in such circumstances we could automatically award the match to the away team on the basis that they had to travel. Alternatively we could have a game of tiddlywinks. Thinking about it we might do a bit better at that.
Next match – Away – Bradwell – 31 August – 1.45 pm – Wednesday.- Next match – Home – Bakewell – 1 September – 1.45pm
