Bury Win 2002 Jamboree
BURY ARE THE 2002 JAMBOREE CHAMPIONS
At the northwest federation croquet championships on 29 and 30 June 2002, Bury became the Champion Club. The two day tournament was a wonderful festival of croquet enjoyed by players from eleven clubs in the north west. The host club, Southport, ensured a friendly event which was enjoyed by nearly 100 people. The tournament was efficiently refereed by Abdul Ahmad who kept the event moving at a swift pace.
Bowdon won the Handicap section, Bury the Short and Southport the Golf, but the final aggregated position saw Bury the winner with Southport a close second.
Bob Burnett, Chairman of the North West Federation presentes the championship trophy to winning club captain, Geoff Young of Bury.
