Results this week were a mixed bag, some surprisingly good, others disappointing, but nevertheless you can’t fault Parwich players for their commitment considering the awful weather conditions, particularly on Thursday afternoon – are we ever going to get some decent Spring weather?
Tuesday evening, we were at home to Bakewell; I get the feeling that they don’t really like our green, the gradients and it’s comparatively small size are totally at odds with Bakewell’s long, thin rectangle. No doubt you can guess that we won easily, 81-57.
Thursday afternoon was the opposite. We were playing away at Hazlewood (near Duffield) – a beautiful green surrounded by banks of flowers, but very large and very fast even though it was wet. Once again,we were hampered by being 2 players short, (come on Parwich! Surely there must be a few villagers out there who can join the club and keep it going in the future.) and by the fact that Hazlewood are second in the division. We lost 99-127.
It was great to see Audrey back playing again. Maybe we can get a full team for next week when we are at home to Hope Works.
We return to Hazlewood on Sunday for a friendly game. Friendly games are a good introduction to match play if we have any new members – let’s hope we perform better then!
