111th Peels at Southport (11 May 09)
The 2009 Peels players experienced everything at Southport last week (7-10 May) – Thursday required libreral doses of suncream, Friday winds almost blew players away, Saturday required wet gear and Sunday weather was almost boring with grey skies.
However, the lawns looked superb, the croquet very competitive and as always, catering excellent. The most ornate trophies in the croquet world went to: Liz Maltby and Nigel Graves (Mixed Doubles); Abdul Ahmad (Mens Singles); Amanda Hames Keward (Ladies Singles).
