Well at least we managed one match in the dry. Although can we expect more sun filled games in the future? Two losses this week, but both matches were against teams either top or near the top of the leagues.

Matlock Tuesday League – Away – 17 July – Bradwell.
As I have said in the past the venue at Bradwell is quite spectacular, particularly when the sun shines. Fortunately it did for the match albeit the result was not sunny. Anyway we did not managed to win a single game, but still achieved a reasonable score. Bradwell after all are top of the league by quite a margin. The result was 84 to 67 to Bradwell. Possibly drop a place in the league.
Next match – Home – Bakewell – 24 July 6.30pm.

Thursday League – Away – Whitworth Park – 19 July.
Although the final result was a loss we again scored reasonably, particularly in the singles. We won one doubles game, but the score was 61 to 48 against. In the singles we shared the games three all, but still lost 74 to 72. Overall the match was 135 to Whitworth, 120 to Parwich.
Next match – Away – Matlock Golf Club – 26 July – 1.45pm.

Another friendly this Sunday against Hazelwood. Looks like the sun may shine a bit as well.

Still can’t put two wins in a week together. One win one loss again.

Matlock Tuesday League. Home – 8 May – Matlock Golf Club.
We have broken our duck at last in this league and against a very good team. Although we shared the games two each we managed to win ours by a greater margin. The overall score was Parwich 76, Matlock 57.Let us hope that this will spur us on to the next match although our opponents are doing considerably better than us.
Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 6.30pm 15 May.

Thursday League. Home – Matlock Golf Club – 10 May.
As the fixtures draw very often does it pitched us against  the Golf Club again, but in a different league. We have been going really well in this league and were close to the top of the division. Unfortunately we did not do ourselves justice. We lost the doubles games two to one. 37 points to us, 54 to the Golf Club. We shared the singles three each, The Golf Club’s scores were better than ours though. 72 to us and 77 to them. Overall therefore we lost 109 to 131. Following last weeks draw and this weeks loss I think we will drop quite a few places in the league.
Away – Chatsworth A – 17 May – 1.45pm.

On Sunday we are having our first Club competition. Parsons Croft 2.00pm. You can have a go at tennis then come over to the bowling green. Action packed weekend or what!

Don’t forget the Parish Annual meeting next week in the Memorial Hall.  We will be there trying to get you to come and join us.

Not only is the weather gloomy and hit and miss, so is our bowls matches. We do need new players to try to get us kick started. One loss one draw this week.

Matlock Tuesday League. Away – 1 May – Bakewell.
This is getting very predictable, we lost. Having said that based on past performance this was not as bad as it could have been. We won two games and Bakewell won two. Unfortunately our losses were heavier than theirs. The final result was Bakewell 79 Parwich 64. Bakewell are second in the division and we are second bottom. About right really, our form in this league will hopefully improve.
Next match – Home – Matlock Golf Club – 6.30pm 8 May.

Thursday League. Home – Whitworth Park – 3 May.
A very unusual result this week, no winner no looser, but a draw. We did not win any of the three doubles games which left us 32 to 63 behind. Our six singles players however came to the rescue giving us a score of 80 to 49. The overall result therefore 112 points each and it did not rain! Up to the start of this match we were second in the division so this score may drop us down a place or two. The fixture list has us playing another home match next week and as these things sometimes work out we are playing the Golf Club again. We had a supporter this week cheering us on. Well done Ron Twigg. Good to see you at the bowling green.
Home – Matlock Golf Club – 10 May – 1.45pm.

So apart from Ron the whole of Parwich is still watching the idiot’s lantern.  Did not think the license fee was that worthwhile. See you ‘not’ on any match day or on Monday nights at 6.30pm ish.

We seem to be in a bit of a ‘win one lose one’ loop at the moment and the lose one is thus far in the same league.

Matlock Tuesday League –  Home – 24 April – Bradwell A.
We cannot seem to get going in this league. Last year we started really well and were close to the top, but this year no good. Three matches three losses. Bradwell were relegated from the higher division last year and we could not do anything to win one game let alone the match. We lost all four games and the final result was Bradwell 84, Parwich 51. We must be holding everybody up at the bottom. I just keep hoping that the teams we have played thus far are the best in the league!
Next match – Away – Bakewell 1 May.

Thursday League – Away – Matlock Bath – 26 April.
What a contrast in this league. The weather was appalling and the green is very compact and tricky, but we steamed along! Although we only won one of the three doubles games are points scored were only 4 less than our opponents. The singles games were shared three each, however, our points scored were considerably more than Matlock. The final score was therefore Matlock 124, Parwich 135. Three wins so far out of four. Not bad.
Home – Whitworth Park – 3 May – 1.45pm.

I think everybody in Parwich must be watching some fabulous programme on the TV on Monday nights. Can you let me know which channel it’s on? Still nobody out there.
