Week 5 – Another two wins again, we cannot keep winning like this! One of the wins to be fair was by the slimmest of margins, but a win is a win.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – 7 May – Whitworth Park.

We usually play quite well against Whitworth Park, but this week we struggled. Having won three out of the four games you would have thought that the match was in the bag. However, the one game we did lose we lost with a vengeance. Although our pair played valiantly their opponents could do no wrong. In the end we scraped a well earned win 66 points to 65.

• Next match – Away – Ashwood Park, Buxton – 14 May 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Wirksworth – 9 May.

The weather was diabolical, freezing cold and throwing it down with rain, but what a team. For the first time in a long time we won all three doubles games. We had another two stonking wins. Dennis and Audrey won 21-5 and John H and Liz won 21-6. Just to put the icing on the cake Ian and Dot won 21-17, making 63 to 28 in total.

The singles proved equally decisive for us winning 5 out of the 6 games. The final overall score was one of the best we have achieved 149 to 99.

Five matches five wins, scary stuff!

• Next match – Away – Chatsworth – 16 May – 1.45pm.

We are having one of our own competitions this Sunday, the Open Singles. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather. The matches will start around 2.00pm. Come down to the Green and have a look and a cup of tea.

Week 4 – So far we appear to be doing quite well. Having said that we did start off last year really well, but tailed off towards the end of the season. Must be something to do with being age’d ‘p’s. Anyway two good wins.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – 30 April – Bakewell.

I have mentioned before the strange elongated green that Bakewell play on causes us and others not to play so well against them, well we bucked the trend this week. We managed to win three out of the four games. Pat and Clara had a stonker, and they won 21 to 7. Edith and Rick had their usual gem of a game. Anyway the final outcome was Parwich 70, Bakewell 55.

• Next match – Home – Whitworth Park – 7 May 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Baslow – 2 May.

Don’t say it too loudly, but in this league we have played four, won four. Must have been playing all the weak teams! However win or lose you could not have had too many better afternoons to laze a few hours away and to top it all we won! For once the weather was glorious. We only won one of the three doubles and trailed 61 – 48.

In the singles however we won 5 out of 6. Because Baslow had one fewer player than us we also got a bonus of three points giving us an overall win 136 to 123.

• Next match – Home – Wirksworth – 9 May – 1.45pm.

Can we keep our good form in the Thursday League up? Why not have a meander down to the Green and have a look. It won’t cost you anything and we will even give you a cup of tea and a biscuit.
