Now you will no doubt be thinking that since John Barnett’s emigration to Buxton this column will not display the same unique brand of humour: how right you are! We will, however, at least try to keep you informed of our results down at Parson’s Croft this summer.
Tuesday saw the first match of the season, played in typical brass monkey weather. We ran out winners 76 – 71. Quite a good victory really as our opponents from Bradwell were in the higher division last season. Edith, Rick, Fran and Dot did well, but the other 4 (who shall remain nameless) not quite so well, managing to score 34 points between them out of the maximum 42. No doubt their time will come.
On Thursday afternoon, our opponents were Baslow, and since we were promoted to Division 1 last year, we knew that we had to perform to the best of our ability. Unfortunately, we didn’t, not helped by the fact that we had only 10 players when a full team is 12. Out of 9 games, only Keith and Tony managed to win. We lost 110 points to 140.
Don’t forget, new players are always welcome on Monday evenings at 6pm at Parson’s Croft, weather permitting.
