Next week is Parwich Primary School Sports Week, an action packed week of events for the children covering all areas of sports. If you see the school children around the village (some may look like they are in a hamster ball but I promise they are having the best time) give them a wave.

They Did it for The King, Now They’ve Done it for Parwich!
What more suitable way to mark our 139 to 92 home win over Matlock Bath on Thursday than with a flypast by the Red Arrows? As the last of the doubles pairings left the green with the advantage turning our way the boys in those wonderful scarlet Hawks swooped over our tidy stadium in “Box” formation. (Maybe they flew on elsewhere just as an excuse to be able to celebrate with us, but) how many Crown Green Bowling clubs can boast that?
It was an emphatic victory, though an afternoon well-enjoyed by both sides in the warm June sunshine. Congratulations to Lynn who picked up a fine victory on her debut with the Club. In fact we went on to win all six of the singles games to put us within touching distance of the impressive Belper Meadows at the business end of the League Table.
Two days before we were narrowly beaten in a most entertaining and exciting tussle at Whitworth Park; a match that went on far beyond the expected duration. On a green running so fat it was a feat in itself to control each shot, especially against a team who must have had a good deal of home advantage as it behaved far differently to our own, and also with the conditions darkening somewhat as nine o’clock loomed. Credit therefore to all for running them so close – there was a mere 5 points in it at the end. Warm handshakes and congratulations followed, until we all realised that car park time was running out and the exit from such resembled the old-fashioned Le Mans start!
This week sees the return of Matlock Bath for a Tuesday fixture, though in the different format of that competition it is likely that a different team will be playing and we’ll need to be on our mettle in order to take the spoils again. However it’s Thursday that carries the hunger and the lust for anticipation through the Bowls World as we travel to lock horns for the first time with Belper Meadows. Their record and indeed their reputation precedes them already this year and this undoubtedly promises to be our toughest test to date in the present campaign.
Please like and follow “Parwich Crown Green Bowling Club” on our Facebook page and stay up to date with all the news.
