Walters and Brandwood take Millenium Advanced Trophies
Several last-minute injuries left a diminished entry for this year’s NW Federation Millennium Advanced Croquet weekend at Pendle on 25/26 April.
Bury’s Andy Brandwood was the clear winner of the B-class, but the A-class looked perilously close to an every-one-a-winner five way tie between all five players. Manager James Hawkins broke the deadlock by failing an easy finish against David Walters, leaving Walters the block victor.
