Ipswich Croquet Club's Finals Day, held yesterday, was a great success. Over 20 people took part with triple banking on both lawns all day!! The day started out rather foggy but by the afternoon it was lovely and sunny - one of the warmest days we have played this year! As well as the final of the Victory Cup (golf croquet ko tournament) and the play-offs for the golf and association croquet ladders there was a golf croquet doubles competition!! Phil managed the day magnificently and never lost his cool despite the large number of people and the complications of fitting in all the finals around the golf competition - thanks Phil.
Steve Miller did very well winning both the Victory Cup and the Golf Croquet ladder - congratulations Steve. The final of the association croquet ladder will be played during the winter as we ran out of time.
Congratulations to Colin Hemming and Bernard Button who won the Golf Croquet Doubles competition. Particularly well done to Bernard who was playing in his first ever croquet competition. Here they are with their prize:
A well deserved tea break in the sunshine:

The club is now taking a two month break to allow the groundsmen to work on the lawns.
