Pendle ‘B’ Level Golf Croquet Tournament – Saturday 19th May

On a scorching hot day, the round robin for the Pendle B level golf tournament was played. All players played 13 point games ‘in the spirit of the game’ – the croquet was excellent with many fine clearance shots being played, but as the grass dried, hoop approaches just continued rolling! Finesse was at a premium – a delicate sense of pace was required.

David Lloyd was the clear winner and will be playing in the final at Camerton and Peasedown in October.

Results:
David Lloyd (4) 6 wins;  Roger l’Anson (4) 5 wins;  Pauline Donner (4) 5 wins;  Will Drake (5) 4 wins;  Michael Bilton (3) 3 wins:  Roy Donner (6) 3 wins;  Jane Tewson (5) 2 wins;  Sue l’Anson (8) 0 wins.
