PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
They say a week is a long time in politics, but a couple of days in Crown Green bowls is even longer. The changes in the weather were incredible. Shame that the bowls results didn’t match some of it.
Tuesday League.
Home – Bradwell – 17 April.
Still absolutely freezing on Tuesday night, more brass monkey’s. Having been pipped last week we needed to get a winning streak going. The match was shared two games each, but as you know it’s points that win prizes. Dennis and Clara E put on a good attempt, but came second 10 – 21. Captain fantastic Dawn playing again with our new club member Frances showed how it should be done winning in great style 21 – 5. Harry B and our Edith came a very close second to the dynamic duo again winning 21 – 9. Although Tony and Sue A lost it was by a very small margin indeed 19 – 21. Adding up the points Parwich came out on top 71 – 56. Another home match next week against Chatsworth B this time. Another win would be good.
Next Match – Home – Chatsworth B – 24 April – 6.00pm.
Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Bradwell – 19 April – 1.45pm.
So having had the thermal Long Johns on on Tuesday night it was Costa del Bradwell Thursday afternoon. Banging on the factor 99 sun cream our doubles pairs took to the green. Unfortunately their play did not match the high temperature of the day, we lost all three games, some closer than others. The score was Bradwell 63, Parwich 45.
One or two of our star players were unavailable, so Tony A, the captain, had to ‘rotate the squad’, bringing in some new players from last week. The six games were shared three each, but we just managed to score more than Bradwell, John B being the star player winning 15 – 3 which made a welcome change from the show he put on last week. The singles finished Bradwell 69, Parwich 72, unfortunately not enough to overhaul the deficit from the doubles. The final score however was not too bad with Parwich going down 132 – 117. At least the sun shone brightly.
Next Match – Home – Youlgrave – 26 April – 1.45pm.
Don’t forget that around 6.00pm on Mondays we have a bit of a practice, which judging by some of the results, is badly needed. Come along and have a go. Flat soled shoes are all you need.
