Croquet News

March 31, 2023 By Pegging Out

One of the more senior coquet players, Robin Pols hosted the Garden Club meeting this week. Robin is pictured with a beautiful flower from her Wheel tree.

There was beautiful rain this week, hopefully it keeps coming. It was a welcome reprieve for our boys from the watering, our croquet lawns look almost picture perfect.

There were 32 players for Aussie Croquet on Saturday, 25th March. Five players managed to win three games, John Browne, John Farah, Lyn Simmonds and Fay Picker.

Big winers on the day were: 14 – 8 John Farah and John Job, Neville Spry and Alex Todd; 14 – 9 John Browne and Carolyn Neilsen, John Farah and John Job, Kevin Rubie and Lorraine Todd. 

There were 28 players on Tuesday, 28th turn up keen to start. Then the rain came, so it ended up being the winner.
