Andrew Brandwood (Bury) Wins Southport Jubilee Handicap (Kath Thomas reports from Victoria Park, 26/05/12)

The weather did an amazing change  of face this week and the croquet lawns of Victoria Park shimmered in the heat  as players from many  clubs attended to participate in the Annual Jubilee  Tankard Handicap Tournament.  The two day  contest is played as a Swiss   competition.  At the end of two sweltering days the final was played out by Southport’s Tony Thomas and Andrew  Brandwood of Bury.  Andy is a rising star  of the North West croquet circuit and after a cautious but determined challenge  was ahead on hoops when the game reached time, giving Andrew a popular  win.  The Swiss runner up was Barbara Haslam  of Southport, who returned to the club from America earlier this week.  Visiting players were very complimentary  about the friendliness and hospitality they had received, and the tournament  efficiency of Southport croquet club.
