News And Results Off The Croquet Courts

May 2, 2019 by Maggi Barnard

Week Ending 27th April

It was nice to see the return of Keith and Jan Brodie at our Tuesday golf croquet; they are both good players and an asset to the club. One of the best players to grace our courts was Bill Greenhill from Tasmania. On his last visit he won all of his games and he was again in good form, playing two balls to defeat Bill Scott 7 to 6. Congratulations to Colleen Liebich! It has been some time since she has won her three matches on the same day. The winners of three games were Bruce Field, Colleen Liebich, Bob Murray and Neville Spry. Well done!

The colder weather for Saturday’s Aussie croquet did not dishearten our players.

There were only two winners of the three matches on the day in spite of a full complement of players. They were John H. Browne and Dorelle Scott.
