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.

Now I know I give the impression that bowlers are a hardy lot, but having to put up with the weather we have had for the past week has been nothing short of heroic. Putting up with all this sunshine and winning matches too, what a team.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – Bakewell – 16 July.

Thankfully Bakewell are not having a very good season this year. They are struggling down near the bottom of the league, and their form against us did not improve in this match. We even managed to win three of the four games, and without our Edith, who unfortunately had hurt her leg and was unable to play. Anyway the night was hot and steamy, and the bowls was good as well. We came out on top 73 points to 67. We have been slowly creeping up the division, but I’m not sure if this will lift us up from our current sixth place.

• Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 23 July 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Baslow – 18 July.

We had beaten Baslow on their green in the first half of the season and on a stonker of an afternoon we played them on our green. On very hot days some people ride bikes up mountains, we go one better and play bowls! Once again we struggled a bit in the doubles winning only one of the three, but our two new members played for only the second time in the league and they both made a great impact. Well done Tony and Sue.

The singles brought us a bit better results winning five out of the six games. We achieved 85 out of a possible 90 points. The final score was Parwich 131, Baslow 101. This should keep us in the top half of the league.

• Next match – Away – Wirksworth – 25 July – 1.45pm.

Our friendly match against Ashbourne Park last Sunday was really enjoyable and we are having another one against Hazelwood this Sunday. It should be another good afternoon. Come down to Parsons Croft and support our regular crowd, Ron T. We start at 2.00pm.
