Saturday 7th September 2024, Bury Croquet Club, Whitehead Park.
Each match was played very competitively and in the end the results reflected the players initial Uk/ World ranking.
It was a joy to watch the skilled tactical play and shots being used by each and every player.
This resulted in the match’s taking much longer than had been initially expected.
Brilliant-successful wide angled hoop shots and jump shots were plentiful, whilst excellent clearances were exhibited by every player.
Angarharrad Walters proved her superior World Ranking in this regard with a number of lovely smooth action,’ follow through’ hoop shots.
A big thank you to ‘ Vi’ Richards ( handicap 6) from Bury who had kindly stepped in at the last minute to make up the numbers .
She never stopped smiling throughout and took great pleasure in scoring hoops in every round.
The Final was between Angaharrad Walters – Bowdon (-5 H/cap) and Roger Brooks – Westmorland (-1H/cap).
It was a joy to watch with lots of skill on display from each player right up to the ‘Golden Hoop ‘ and resulting in a 7 – 6 win for Angharrard.
