Croquet Returns After Rain And Washouts

December 10, 2021 by Maggi Barnard

IT’S BACK: After all the rain and floods it was good to see players out again playing croquet with big numbers last Saturday and Tuesday turning out.

 

It was good to be back on Saturday December 4th after all the rain. We had 28 players and we were pleased to welcome a visitor from Wagga Wagga, Adam McCullum, son-in-law of John Farah. There were only 2 winners of 3 games; Colleen Liebich and Neville Spry.

The big winners were:
• 14-9 Colleen Liebich and Alex Todd, Bruce Field and Neville Spry.
• 14-10 Dorelle Scott and Bruce Field, Harley Stewart and Geoff Coles, Anne Stewart and Neville Spry, Colleen Liebich and Jill Rubie, Robin Pols and Ray Burridge.

Close Games were:
• Marie Spry and Merv Langfield 14 John Job and Cherylin Cole 13
• Colleen Liebich and Carolyn Neilson 14 Ray Burridge and Harley Stewart 12
• John Browne and Kevin Rubie 14 Marie Spry and Bill Scott 12
• Robin Pols and Merv Langfield 14 John Job and John Cole 12
• John Browne 14 Elvy Quirk and Bruce Field 12
• Geoff Coles and Jeff Liebich 14 Merv Langfield and John Cole 11
• Elvy Quirk and Neville Spry 14 Adam McCullum and John Farah 11
• Marie Spry and Alex Todd 14 Jill Rubie and Anne Stewart 11
• Bill Scott 14 Cheryle Toohey and John Allegri 11
• Tony Thomson and Kevin Rubie 14 John Browne and Robin Pols 11
• Harley Stewart and Cheryle Toohey 14 Dorelle Scott and Tony Thomson 11
• Jill Rubie and John Allegri 14 John Farah and Adam McCullum 11
• Joan Littlejohn and Cherylin Cole 14 Elvy Quirk and Jeff Liebich 11
• Dorelle Scott and John Cole 14 John Farah and Adam McCullum 11

At the end of last week, we learnt of the passing of Mary Hodges. After Croquet on Tuesday we formed a guard of honour wearing black armbands to her funeral at the cemetery. Condolences to the Hodges family.
