PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Week four of the season already. Not sure where the first three went, but gone they are. Not too bad this week one reasonable loss and a very good win.

Tuesday League.

Away – Hope – 1 May.

Always very strong and competitive matches up around the arctic circle. Although we lost we did manage to share the games two each. Harry B and Tony A only just missing out 17 – 21. John and Pat B came unstuck, however, against a very good pair losing 12 – 21. At least they got to double figures. Our new wonder team of Dawn and Frances did it again for us winning in great style 21 – 18. Finally not to be outdone our Edith and Rick battled all the way, coming out on top by the odd point 21 – 20. Good game to watch. Final score Hope 80, Parwich 71.

Next Match – Home – Ashwood Park – 8 May – 6.00pm.

Thursday Friendly League.

Away – Whitworth Park A – 3 May – 1.45pm.

Win or lose it is really good to go to Whitworth. It is such a friendly, welcoming Club. It also does no harm to have a good win either. We were unstoppable. Although we lost two of the three doubles games Ian J and Sue A had such a good win 21 – 9, that we still finished 5 points ahead. Harry and Audrey B came close losing 18 – 21, as indeed did Liz H and Edith just being pipped 17 – 21. Whitworth 51, Parwich 56.

In the singles it was one way traffic, with only two of Whitworth’s players getting double figures. Parwichians won all 6 games, with John H winning the best 15- 5. Other good wins were Tony A 15 – 6, Keith B 15 – 7, and Frances W 15 – 9. Whitworth 51, Parwich 90. One of our best results and particularly away from home. Final result Whitworth 102, Parwich 146.

We managed to put out a full team of 12 players this week, however next week we are in a bit of bother as we have 7 players unable to play for various reasons. Bearing in mind we only have 16 registered players we will only have 9 at best. If someone else can’t make it then we will have to suffer a 25 point penalty.

Next Match – Home – Bakewell – 10 May – 1.45pm.
