Oh dear we are still winning with a vengeance and in both the Leagues this week. As you dear reader, know it can sometimes be a little inclement on the Bowls green and our Tuesday match was inclement in the extreme.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away -28 June – 6.30pm – Bakewell.

You really do need to get down to Parsons Croft and see how good your tiny village bowls team is. They are awesome. Bakewell are third in the division by a long way and we are struggling just below half way, however even though it looked as though it was the potential start of the great flood and we would need to contact Noah the Team won.

We came off the green looking like drowned rats, but with big smiles on our faces. Rick and Edith stormed home 21 – 7. Dawn A and John B won 21 – 17 with Pat B and Dennis E also winning 21 – 19. Even though Clara E and Harry B lost they were playing their best pair and still got 12. The final score was Bakewell 64, Parwich 75.

Next week we play the top of the league. I think we will need more than Noah.

• Next match – Home – Cote Heath – 5 July – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday League
Home – Whitworth Park – 30 June – 1.45pm.

It’s getting critical now that we are past half way in the season because we had another cracking win!

We only won one of the three doubles, but we were only 5 points down. With a good 21 – 14 win and with close losses to 15 -21 in the other two games, we were in touch.

You may well recall we do quite well in the singles and this week was no exception with Dawn A winning 15 – 1, Tony A 15 – 4 Harry B 15 – 6, Rick M 15 – 6 and Edith R 15 – 7. Although we lost one game it was only 14 – 15! Singles scores Parwich 89, Whitworth 39, giving an overall win 140 – 95. This will cement our second position in the league.

• Next match – Away – Chatsworth. – 7 July – 1.45pm.

Have a good time at Wakes. The Bowls Club would love to take part in the Hill Race, but as you can see we have to uphold the Village on the bowls green on Tuesday!

Can you believe the bowls season is already half way through and we don’t seem to have had too much summer yet, or is it me? Perhaps the summer will surprise us and come with a flourish soon. As for the bowls we appear to be rocketing along in one league and struggling in the other.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away -21 June – 6.30pm – Ashwwod Park.

As mentioned last week Ashwood are a good second in the league and they certainly played like it. There was also a loss for our dynamic duo Dennis and Clara E who lost for the first time in ages. You can tell how good Ashwood are because even Rick and Edith lost albeit by the small margin of 21 – 19. We could only muster one win this week with Dawn A and Dot H convincingly winning 21 – 17. Unfortunately these were the only two bright aspects of this week’s attempts by you bowls club. The final result was Ashwood 80, Parwich 57.

Although we are not playing our best in this league we are still none the less only just below half way in the division. If we could string a few good results together we may climb a few places. We play Bakewell away next week, not the best place to go to try and start a bit of a results run.

• Next match – Away – Bakewell – 28 June – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday League
Away – Baslow – 23 June – 1.45pm.

We really will have to take care in this League as we are flying along. As of last week we had climbed up into second place in the division. I think money may well have to change hands in order for us to drop a few places and avoid promotion. Having said that we did not perform well in the doubles this week and only managed one win, but what a win it was for Audrey B and Dot H, 21 -3. After the doubles we trailed 40 points to 45.

In the singles we came through with flying colours winning 5 out of the 6 games, with Dawn A, Edith, and John H all scoring handsomely. Parwich 79, Baslow 60. The overall result therefore Baslow 105, Parwich 119. We will have to start losing!

• Next match – Home – Whitworth Park. – 30 June – 1.45pm.

Enjoy open gardens and well done to those of you who have strived to get them looking great.
