PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

It has been so nice playing bowls over the past few weeks the weather has been so good to us, the bowls hasn’t been bad either.

Tuesday League.

Home – Wirksworth – 5 June – 6.00pm

We always have a tight match against Wirksworth, they are a much bigger club than us, but we seem to be able to hold our own. For once Rick wasn’t playing with Edith but it did not make a lot of difference with Dot stepping up to the mark. They meandered to a win 21 – 17. Not so good for Dennis E and Sue A who try as they did could not get to grips with the Wirksworth pair losing 7 – 21. Fortunately Pat and John B managed, I know not how, to reverse the result by winning 21 – 7. Did anybody actually see if the had opponents? Finally it was down to Clara E and Tony A to bring home the bacon. Talk about a nail biter, they won on the last end 21 – 20. What a pair. Final score Parwich 70, Wirksworth 65.

Believe it or not dear reader this result puts us top of the division! Can we stay there??

Next match – Away – Matlock Golf Club – 12 June – 6.00pm.

Thursday Friendly League.

Home – Chatsworth A – 7 June – 1.45pm.

Top of the table clash today. Chatsworth are top of the division and Parwich were third or fourth. How will we do? If the doubles pairs were anything to go by, not very well. We unfortunately we did not win a game. Our best result was Clara E and Liz H losing against Chatsworth’s best pair 21 – 14. A really good effort.

We needed to play really well to make up the 34 point deficit after the doubles and well we did play. John H led the way with a win 15 – 3, followed by Dawn, Edith and Sue A winning 6, 9, and 11 respectively. Our other two singles players although losing made good scores also. Would we have done enough to make up the score? Although we more than halved the deficit to 13 it was not enough so we came second, Chatsworth 122, Parwich 109. I think this defeat will drop us down a few places.

Next Match – Home – Chatsworth B – 14 June – 1.45pm
