Contrasting Fortunes

Friday June 26, 2015 by Peter T

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

These matches are the reverse games from the start of the season and unfortunately we have not had as good a start to the second half of the season as we had at the beginning. Indeed in one of the leagues we have managed to get what can only be described as another very low score.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Bradwell – 23 June – 6.30pm.

Two home matches on the trot and Pat B and Dot H are rapidly becoming our star turn, thank goodness. They played a very experienced pair and won by the princely sum of 21 – 6. What a pair they are. Last week we put out a call for more Dawn’s, this week we need more Pat and Dot’s. Know where there are any of these? Edith partnered this week by Sue A also turned on the style winning 21 – 10. Our esteemed captain Dawn A partnered herself with John B, silly lady and nearly paid the price for her daftness. They clawed their way back from the brink of defeat 20 – 16 down to win 21 -20, phew! All in all we had a thankfully good win 76 – 57. Can’t believe we were still fourth in the league, with this good win with luck we may stay there.

  • Next match- Away – Matlock Bath – 30 June – 6.30pm

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Hathersage – 25 June – 1.45pm.

Now you really do need a lot of players in this league, 12 is the best number, six for doubles and six for singles, we were close to managing only seven when Rick M stepped in to fill the breach and he even brought his wife along (a none bowling better half) who scored for us. Thanks Ida. Anyway it probably mattered not a lot as we managed to get less than 100 again this week. Only Tony A and Edith managed a win in the doubles and our brilliant captain John H brought us our only win in the singles. On our green in the first match of the season we beat Hathersage scoring 129. Oh happy days! I suppose we can look forward to a return to the nether regions of the lower league next year. Seriously though we are in dire need of more, particularly younger Members. Come and help us out please.

  • Next match – Home – Youlgrave – 2July – 1.45pm.

Have a good wakes week everyone and enjoy the festivities.

John B.

PP5 Marshal Request

Friday June 26, 2015 by Peter T

Nia has inherited the organisation of this year’s Parwich Panoramic Five (Fell Race), and has asked us to post the following:

Would anyone like to be a marshal for the PP5 on Tues 4th Aug?

Chance to wear a high viz vest and look at sweaty men and women in lycra safe in the knowledge that being a marshal implies being the sensible one!

Contact me on 661 if anyone would like to help. Great fund raiser for Parwich Memorial Hall and the Royal British Legion (the national charity).

It is a great event and well worth supporting so do give Nia a ring.

Dawns Wanted

Friday June 19, 2015 by Fiona H

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

Can you believe we are half way through the season already; we do not seem to be getting our act together really this year as this week’s results indicate. At least the weather seems to have perked up a bit. Hope our bowls does too.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Ashwood Park – 16 June – 6.30pm.
Ashwood are just a few points below us in the league and we needed to be at our best, unfortunately we weren’t. Pat B and Dot H really showed how to do it by turning on the style and winning 21 – 8. Edith and Rick M also did their bit winning 21 – 18, but our other two pairs failed to make any impression on their opponents. The final result was a defeat by 68 points to 65. We will have to try and do much better in the second half of the season.
Next match- Home – Bradwell – 23 June – 6.30pm

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Matlock Park – 18 June – 1.45pm.
Having gained promotion last season we started very well with some good results, unfortunately our frailties are beginning to show and they did so again this week. Our only win in the doubles games was a resounding one by Harry B and Dennis E our two remaining pairs unfortunately could not get close to the opposition and we found ourselves down 58 – 34. Well our singles players will get us back on track, not this week. Only Dawn A managed a win, but it was a great win 15 – 8. Wish we had a few more Dawn’s, anybody know where we can find some?? John H, Tony A and Pat B put up a good fight, but to no avail and the final result was Matlock 141, Parwich 99. Less than 100 again this week. We were third from bottom but I fear we may well be holding everybody up this week.
Next match – Away – Hathersage – 25 June – 1.45pm.

Last Sunday we held one of our Club competitions which was won by Dawn and Edith remember them? The cups were presented by Alan Johnson on behalf of an old member Cynthia Brown who unfortunately had died at short while ago. Thank you Alan.

John B.
