Croquet News

March 21, 2019 by Maggi Barnard

Week ending 16th March

Our club made an effort to host a friendly match against West Wyalong for Tuesday’s golf croquet competition. The same minority crew set out the courts, the side show fun games and three large gazebos to cater for our visitors. Food was bought for a sausage sizzle and some desserts were prepared.

At the very last minute West Wyalong cancelled their visit. It was very disappointing for all concerned but we made the best of the day. Congratulations to Jenny Job who, as a relative newcomer, won two games out of three. The winners of three games were John Browne, Harley Stewart and Geoff Coles.

Saturday’s Aussie croquet was a quiet affair with 24 players on the courts. Man of the moment was John Job who had a great win playing two balls against Colleen Liebich, the final score was 14-13. Bob Murray is back in form, winning his three games. Other winners of three games were John Browne, John MacCullagh, Kevin Rubie, Tony Thomson and Alec Todd.
