THE AC PENNINE CUP 2018 – Sunday 1stJuly at Albert Park
The annual match between the North East (Yorkshire / Croquet North) and the North West Federations took place, for the first time, in Middlesbrough. Further more, because of player shortages, it was contested between teams of only four (with the EPL format).
All lawns were in use, the sun shone (too much) and folk enjoyed their lunchtime buns and fruit salad – what’s not to enjoy about a day’s croquet?
