Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Chatsworth – 15 July.

Well another boring win this week. Fortunately the three teams ahead of us are also doing well otherwise we would be right up there. We did win three out of the four games and had good score in the game we lost. Dawn and Dot were convincing winners 21 – 12, with Tony A and Val K virtually matching them by winning 21 – 13. Even without the ever present Rick, Edith joined with Clare E won 21 – 18. The final score was Chatsworth 64, Parwich 79. Only 5 points from the maximum, a really good solid performance by all. Next week we entertain the team who didn’t beat us when we met at the start of the season, they thrashed us. We will certainly try our best next Tuesday to reverse the result. Oh, and they are also top of the league.

• Next match – Home – Buxton Park – 22 July – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Whitworth Park – 17 July.

No royal patronage this week, She doesn’t know what she’s missing, as indeed the vast proportion of Parwich residents don’t. Anyway, we played the top of the league this week and considering our player resources we more than held our own. We got a good win in one of the doubles games, but sadly came unstuck in the other two and trailed 59 – 46 at the start of the singles. Although we shared the games three each, the deficit from the doubles was too large for us to make up and we finished up losing 117 – 123. Not bad for a hick ‘out in the sticks’ Club like Parwich. Fortunately this loss may well drop us a place or two from the giddy heights of second in the league!

• Next match – Away – Blank week- 24 July

Another friendly this Sunday, come down to Parsons Croft around 2.00pm and see some of the best bowlers in the Matlock League strut their stuff. You will be amazed how good they are.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB

We are still short of a wheelbarrow, but there you go, however we are in grave danger of moving up the division of the leagues we play in. We will have to start losing.

Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Matlock Bath – 8 July.

We shared the games two each, but thankfully the two we lost were by not so great a margin as Matlock. We also have an Edith and Rick. How do they do it. They won by 21 – 2. In the other three games Tony and Sue won 21 – 17 and Harry and Dennis also were close, only just losing. The overall score finished 71 to Parwich and 61 to Matlock Bath. We are currently fourth in the league so we will have to take care we do not get promoted, well not unless we get a heap of new players.

• Next match – Away – Chatsworth B – 15 July – 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Matlock Park – 10 July.

I am certain I saw Her Majesty peeping over the wall to watch us play bowls, well I think it was her. If it was her then she would have seen a rampant Parwich. Believe it or not we lost all three doubles games and yet we were only 4 points down trailing 63 – 59, what a great result. In the singles we did even better winning 5 out of the 6 games. Harry B winning 15 – 2, Tony A and Rick M winning 15 – 3, and it carried on from there. The final result in the singles was 84 – 34, what a match. The overall result was Parwich 143, Matlock 97. I bet the Queen was impressed.

• Next match – Home – Whitworth Park- 17 July – 1.45.

We are playing one of our friendly games this Sunday. Come down and see what you are missing. 2.00pm Parsons Croft.
