Croquet News And Results Report

August 9, 2018 by Maggi Barnard

Croquet week ending 4th August

A smaller turn out than usual for our golf croquet but the standard of play was excellent. There were six winners of three games namely Bruce Field, Jeff Liebich, Colleen Liebich, Joan Littlejohn, Bob Murray and Dorelle Scott.

We were lucky to have a visitor from West Australia. Lyn McFarlane really showed us what good croquet is all about! She wiped the floor with all her opposition and won all three of her games.

Saturday Aussie Croquet saw a good turnout of 27 players. Visitors again were the surprise with John Rogers, Annie Bradley and Rob Bradley all winning games.

Rob Bradley won three games, a big effort for a player from Sydney who has only played three or four games in his life. Clean sweeps were John Cole, Bob Murray, Kevin Rubie, Dorelle Scott, Harley Stewart, Tony Thompson, Alec Todd, Lorraine Todd and Rob Bradley. A big cheer to visitor Annie Bradley for winning her first game ever!
