PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Can’t remember a better winning week for our bowls club. We nearly got to perfection in terms of scoring, not sure about the look of us though!

Tuesday League.

Away – Bakewell – 29 May – 6.00pm

As you may recall Bakewell’s green is very narrow and thin. Evidently there are no hard and fast rules on size other than it should be between 30 – 60 yards in old money. Wouldn’t want to play on the 60 yard green though, you would need to be in the world’s strong man/woman category. Anyway what ever the size we played a blinder. Captain Dawn and Frances strutting their stuff winning 21 – 7. Harry and Sue storming home 21 – 9. Even Tony and John B managed a win 21 – 17. Rick and Edith obviously wanted to get as many ‘ends’ as possible, each pair winning one shot at a time. They eventually won 21 – 15. A full house for Parwich 84, Bakewell 48. We were second in the division so this should keep us up there.

Next match – Home – Wirksworth – 5 June – 6.00pm.

Thursday Friendly League.

Home – Matlock Park – 31 May – 1.45pm.

Debut appearance for Stuart this week and what a debut it was. Playing with Frances (she can be bossy) they were trailing 8 nil, but what a team they made in the end winning 21 – 16. Trust me it will not be this easy every week. Dennis and Clara also had what must be one of their best ever wins 21 – 3. What a result. Last but most certainly not least Ian and Liz completed a hat trick of wins 21 – 15. What a start, Parwich 64, Matlock 34.

On to the singles and although we had a couple of players missing the outcome was never in doubt. We won 5 out of the 6 games dropping only 3 points. Parwich 87, Matlock 67. Final score Parwich 150, Matlock 101, only 3 off the maximum. We were about third or fourth in the division so this should keep us up there.

Next Match – Away – Chatsworth – 7 June – 1.45pm.
