North West Federation of Croquet Clubs - for everything Croquet in the north west
Alain Giraud retained the Sandiford Salver at the Open Weekend in Southport on 18-19 September.
The tournament marked a return to normality for both the club and the players.
Manager James Hawkins made his first appearance on a croquet lawn since the onset of the pandemic and Rick Harding played well to take the runner-up place, in his first competitive season since winning this event in 1993.
