It is no surprise that the conditions allowed for only one Croquet discipline to be played in Stanthorpe last week.
The Association players were the only group to get on court. On Tuesday before the rain made its untimely arrival. Grace Howard was in good form when she played against Joy Newman and Pauline Smith. Newman had two runs of two and one peel. Her Smith scored one peel and also had some very accurate long roquets to help bring their total score their combined score 14.
Howard had two runs of runs of two and pegged out first to take claim the win.
Jenny Tunbridge’s combination of tactical experience and accurate play paid dividends when she beat Sharyn Roser. Tunbridge got away to a healthy lead and was able to hold on to it throughout the game, despite some good moves from Roser. Tunbridge had one peel and one run of three to take the win with a total of 21. Roser had one run of two and final score of 14.
