One win one loss this week. A little better than one win two losses last week. Anyway…..

Matlock Tuesday League.

Home – 17 April – Chatsworth A.

This team got relegated from the first division last season, but they still are very good. We did not manage to win a game. We came close in one game, but lost 84 to 48 in the end. Considering we finished fourth in the league last year we have not made a very auspicious start. Hope we do better next week.

Next match – Home – Bradwell A 24 April 6.30pm.

Thursday League.
Did anybody spot last week’s deliberate mistake! Although we won we did win all the doubles games as well as the singles, otherwise our score would have been the maximum 153. We did lose one doubles game. However it was still a great win.

Home – Matlock Park A – 19 April. Having nearly hit the jackpot last week we thought things could not get better. Although we did not win as many games we did score more points. We won the doubles games 62 to 48 and the singles games 83 to 50. The overall score therefore was one better than last week 145 to 98! At this rate we will be near the top of the division. I am sure however next weeks match will bring us down to earth.

Next match – Away Matlock Bath – 26 April 1.45pm.

Still nobody to play with on Monday nights. Is there anybody out there?

So we are off and bowling, well throwing a circular thing at a smaller white thing. Thankfully as you who live here will know the snow did not last long and we have been able to play a match or two with varying success this week.

Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – 10 April – Matlock Park B.

Matches in this league normally start at 6.30pm, but in early season you try to get going sooner rather than late. Just as well. I think also the opposition had better miner’s hats than we did because by the time the match ended it was very dark.

Anyway we only won one of the four games, although in the games we lost we did manage to accumulate good scores. Now just as a reminder you have to play four doubles games first up to 21 wins the game. The maximum points you can score therefore is 84. Having lost three out of four the result was 81 to Matlock and 73 Parwich, which as things go is not too bad a losing score if you understand what I mean.

Next match – Away – Chatsworth 17 April.

Thursday League.

Because of the cancellation of the first match we played two matches this week.

Again just as a reminder the format of the match is three doubles up to 21 and six singles up to 15. Maximum score therefore 153.

Away – 12 April – Chatsworth.

We unfortunately did not manage to win any doubles games, indeed we managed to lose them all quite nicely. However in the singles we won three out of the six. The final scores were Chatsworth 133, Parwich 109.

Home – Cancelled match – Wirksworth – Friday 13 April.

Friday the 13th enjoy! Not only did we win all the doubles games, (63 to 36) we also won all six singles as well. I cannot recall us ever managing to do this before, although I am sure that some members of the Club can put me right. Anyway the final result was Parwich 144, Wirksworth 103.

Next match – Home Matlock Park ‘A’ – 19 April.

Don’t forget we will be having a few ‘ends’ on Monday night at about 6.30. Come and have a try. Nobody new has turned up so far, it’s very lonely on our own!
