PARWICH BOWLS CLUB – Week commencing 12 July 2010.

Mixed fortunes again this week. One win one loss.

Tuesday League – Away – Hathersage.

On occasions you have to confess that playing bowls when it is heaving it down with rain and blowing a gale is not necessarily the best pastime. This was such an occasion. It was not pleasant!!

We had lost to Hathersage at home earlier in the season and we were not looking forward to the reverse fixture. We should not have worried. We won by 80 to 62, which was, all bar one point, the exact opposite of the loss we suffered at home.

Next match – Home – Whitwirth Park – 20 July – 6.30

Thursday League – Home – Lafarge Cement Hope.

Even though we lost we gave a reasonable account of ourselves. Lafarge are a lot higher in the league than us and a much bigger club.

We won one out of the three doubles games and shared the singles three games each. However the games Lafarge won were won by a greater margin and the final score was 112 to 131.

Next match –Away – Matlock Park – 22 July. 1.30 ish.

You are still allowed to come along to the green. It is better than going to the dentist! And it does not cost a thing.

We are having a club tournament on Sunday called a ‘Square Robin’ come and have a look. We will be on the green at around 10.30 am.

PARWICH BOWLS CLUB – Week commencing 5 July 2010.

Mixed fortunes this week. One win and one loss, although we did play well in both games.

Tuesday League – Home – Chatsworth.

We managed to win two of the games, but lost two as well. Our points tally however was just a bit better than the opposition. The final result was 69 to 52.

It is ironic that last week in this league we had our lowest score, but still went up a place in the table! The teams around us had even poorer scores than we did.

Let’s see how we fair this week.

Next match – Away – Hathersage – 13 July – 6.30

Thursday League – Away – Bakewell.

This is a really strange green. Very long and thin. In Crown Green bowls you can send your ‘woods’ in any direction. Up and down or corner to corner, the choice is yours. At Bakewell however because the green is so narrow it is almost like playing ‘Flatgreen’ bowls, you have to play up and down.
Anyway, suffice it to say we were beaten quite comprehensively. We won one out of three in the doubles and two out of six in the singles, making the total score 137 to Bakewell and 111 to us. It could have been worse!

Next match –Home – Lafarge Hope works – 15 July. 1.30 ish.
