Having played this week’s teams on their greens and been successful on both we needed to get back to our winning ways, thankfully we did.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – Ashwood Park – 30 July.

Having shared the games two apiece on Ashwood’s green we did the same again on our green, with the same result. Harry and Val played a stormer as indeed did Edith and Rick, both pairs winning their respective games 21 – 4. You can’t get too much better than that. In the two remaining games, although we lost them, our points scored were very good. In the end we only dropped nine points from the maximum possible of 84. Parwich 75, Ashwood 50. Our opponents next week beat us really well, plus we were penalised for completing the score card incorrectly. Let us hope we do better next week.

• Next match – Home – Chatsworth – 6 August 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Chatsworth – 1 August 2013.

Audrey and Dennis played well in their doubles game, as indeed did Clara and Ian, but we only managed to win one of the three games. In the singles we won four out of the six games, with Dawn and Tony scoring heavily in their games. In the end we scored 79 out of a possible 90. This gave us a win by 126 to 120. We were mid table in the division and this score should keep us there. Next week we are at Matlock Bath, on their green. Keep your fingers crossed.

• Next match – Away – Matlock Bath – 8 August – 1.45pm.

The Square Robin, played last Sunday, was a really good day and the outcome was unclear right until the final game. In the end Harry and Rick came out on top. Congratulations. The friendly match against Ashbourne Bowls Club due to be played this Sunday, has been cancelled.

We appear to be in a bit of a loop in terms of winning and losing. This week we lost both our matches, last week we won both. The week before we lost both. What price two wins next week?

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – Whitworth Park – 23 July.

Although we lost we gave a good account of ourselves at Whitworth. We managed to win three out of the four games, however in the one we lost, we lost with a vengeance. Dot and Dawn played like demons and Harry and Val came back to achieve a cracking win. The final score was Whitworth 69, Parwich 65 almost a reversal of the score on our green. Next week we entertain Ashwood Park, Buxton who we always seem to struggle against. Let’s hope we can follow our loss week with a win.

• Next match – Home – Ashwood Park – 30 July 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Wirksworth – 25 July.

We tried really hard this week. Although we lost the doubles two games to one our scores were good. Clara and Dot came from 13-1 down to win 21-19, what a come back. The final result of the doubles was Wirksworth 61, Parwich 50. In the singles we shared the games three each. Unfortunately our opponents won more points than us scoring 63 to our 61. One great result, however was Tony A who, in only his third game in the league, won 15-12. What a find for us. The final score was Wirksworth 124, Parwich 111.

• Next match – Home – Chatsworth – 1 August – 1.45pm.

A good time was had by all on Sunday last week. This week we are playing a club competition, Square Robin. The competition starts at 10.00 Sunday morning. Meander down and have a look.
