CNSW Golf Croquet Division 3 Doubles & Singles Championships
10 - 13 March 2014
Hosted by EDSACC Croquet Club at Bateau Bay on the NSW Central Coast
There were 11 entrants in the Doubles Event coming from Jamberoo, Maitland, Mt Sugarloaf, Port Hacking, Toronto and EDSACC.
There were also 11 entrants in the Singles Event coming from Canberra, Jamberoo, Mt Sugarloaf, Strathfield, Toronto and EDSACC.
A lot of players were playing competition for the first time and all agreed it was a good experience and a great learning curve. All this was put to good use and all improved their game over the competition. The referees were marvellous to these new players and were prepared to put in time clarifying some rules and explaining how they could improve their game. Everyone found this very useful. Well done everyone.
The weather was very kind to us and although showers had been forecast, the days were bright, clear and sunny. There was a storm on the Wednesday night but it cleared in plenty of time for start of play on the Thursday.
- Doubles Event: The winners were Bryan Clark and John Aldridge from EDSACC and the runners up were Kathy Porter and Ron Jones from EDSACC.
- Singles Event: The winner was Ron Jones from EDSACC and the runner up was Gillian Aldridge from EDSACC
Thanks go to Tournament Referee, Sylvia Shipp and her hardworking team of referees coming from Branxton, Canberra, Maitland, Newcastle, Toronto as well as EDSACC.
Of course no tournament would be successful without the willing band of helpers who would come along early each morning to set up the lawns, put out umbrellas and chairs and then pack up everything at the close of play. Then of course there was Gail Young and her band of willing helpers in the kitchen who were there early to ensure there was something to eat and drink on arrival for everyone and afterwards to set out morning and afternoon tea and make the sandwiches for lunch, what a great effort.
Thanks must also go to Robyn and John Compton who came along everyday to help with all the scoring, refereeing and anything else we needed help with.
