Well, yes, okay, it was one game from ten,; and we scraped a win by one point last Tuesday at Whitworth Park (Darley Dale,) but the headline had to be upbeat to excite you Dear Readers.
The poor run of form continues, yes, but we do have injury concerns which we’re all sure will improve markedly over the ensuing weeks. We’ve also had some close matches with fine individual performances, so I’m sure that further successes are just around the corner. The two home games of last week against Burbage (Tuesday) and Hathersage (Thursday) I am unable to comment on as we were away on holiday – but checked the results from afar before breakfast on each occasion the following day.
So on to the away travels again this week. A thrilling match Tuesday evening at Whitworth went down to the wire and having tight games throughout, finished in the pouring rain with Parwich having a 72-71 advantage. The trip to Bakewell on Thursday was a glorious affair on a warm summer’s afternoon, again with some exchanges ending as mere single point margins, however Bakewell came out on top this time and fully belied the 143 to 93 scoreline. The jaffa cakes were welcomed but the chocolate digestives melted as we ate them….
So, two home games this week, support down at the Club would be much welcomed; 6.00 Tuesday v Hope Works and Thursday 1.45 against Baslow. Despite the recent losing streak and events on the greens seemingly conspiring against us, fear not, as certainly my resolve, for one, will not be dampened! …Mark J.

The next meeting of Parwich Parish Council will be held on Wednesday the 18th May 2022 at 7:00 pm in the Memorial Hall.
The meeting will be adjourned at 8:00pm so that the Parish Annual Meeting can take place.
The previous minutes of the Parish Council indicated that we had hoped to present the results of the recent Housing needs Survey at the Parish Annual Meeting. However we have recently been advised by Derbyshire Dales District Council that this will not be available until the end of the month, so this will not be possible. The survey will be discussed at a future meeting of the Parish Council.

We’re using the term “Slow start” to describe our season so far – the fact is that after six matches (five in the Thursday League and, this week, our opening gambit in the Tuesday campaign,) we have yet to record a win! Despite injury concerns within our ranks it has to be admitted that things are not going too well on the result front. But there are positives – there are ALWAYS positives – we have got some pretty difficult away fixtures out of the way and feel confident we’ll reverse these in the home returns.
Thursday of last week we took on Top of the Table Tideswell at home. I’ve got to say they looked a class outfit from the moment they turned up. Those not on the green at any one time didn’t sit and watch, but pervaded around the extremities coaxing and cajoling their warriors to victory. From what I saw I’m expecting them to be there or thereabouts at the end of the season; I think they’re looking the team to beat. So, no disgrace there then, we gave it out best shot but came up short to the tune of 150 to 100. Great people though, was a privilege to meet and play them.
Tuesday this week we ventured forth to our old friends at Bakewell to start the Tuesday League season with the difference in format that that brings. What an enjoyable game as we came close several times in a contest that kept the interest until the end. The green there is, shall we say, somewhat different to the rest and I didn’t view the 84-56 reverse as too disheartening. But no pudding!!
But talking of differing greens, two days later we travelled to Youlgrave. Now if there was ever a place giving home advantage it has to be this; the crown is like a scale model of Kinder Scout. We were trounced! A maximum 153 to our 56 in return; not our finest hour. I thought we were in with a chance a few times but on each occasion our opponents moved into top gear and that was that.
But are we downhearted? Not a chance! Apples will grow again and our day will come. Keep going Parwich, two home matches this week against Burbage (Tuesday) and Hathersage (Thursday) and smiles will back on the faces and pride will have been restored. Come On Parwich! …
Oil prices were set for a second consecutive weekly gain as Brent Crude tops $113 per barrel in early trading on Friday morning as the EUs proposal to ban imports of all Russian Crude and oil products by the end of the year trumped market concerns about slowing Chinese oil demand.
