PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

The greens are ‘greening’ up again after the drought conditions we were playing under. Not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing from our point of view. Only a few matches left in the 2018 season.

Tuesday League.

Away – Wirksworth – 21 August – 6.00pm.

Penultimate match for us in this league and we are still trying hard. Tony A and John B played well to get us off to a good start by winning 21 – 10. Pat B and Dot fought like Trogan’s coming back from being well down to losing 17 – 21. Captain Dawn and Frances, playing their best pair had a blinding result winning 21 – 15. Finally Edith and Rick could not quite give us another win losing 19 – 21. Although we shared the games 2 each we only dropped 6 points from the maximum 84. As well as the bowls it was the 80th birthday of one of the Wirksworth players and we enjoyed a few nibbles and a glass of wine. Congratulations Harold A. Here’s to the next 80.

Final match – Home – Matlock Golf Club – 28 August – 6.00pm.

Thursday Friendly League.

Away – Matlock Park – 23 August – 1.45pm.

The star of Parwich Bowls at the moment is Ian J who, irrespective of who he plays with in the doubles, seems to come out on top. This week was no exception playing with Sue A they won 21 – 4. Audrey and Harry B also did us proud winning 21 – 8. You need a little luck in bowls and I think it fair to say that our third pair Keith B and Liz H did not have the ‘rub of the green’, but still managed a good 15 points. Matlock 33, Parwich 57.

There was a surprise in the singles with Frances (she who is the other half of our Tuesday pair with Dawn) losing. This, this year is a collectors item. Other members of the team however came through with Tony, John B and Dawn winning to 1, 3, and 4 respectively. Matlock 52, Parwich 79. Final score Matlock 85, Parwich 136.

Next Match – Home – Chatsworth A – 30 August – 1.45pm.
