Hi all 

The event was held at St Martins Croquet Club on Sunday 29 October 2023 in fine weather albeit with the dreaded easterly wind. 

A field of 20 players contested for the title and Silver Badge. This year we had players representing 8 Canterbury Clubs and also a player from Waireka Club in Ashburton. 

With the All Blacks game also being played everyone arrived on time and games were underway by 8:30am   This was not a distraction to the excellent games that were played throughout the day. It was encouraging to have a number of players, new to CCA tournaments and we look forward to them playing in more events. 

Thanks to all players, assistant manager Janet Scott, referees John Borner and Sylvia MacFarlane and St Martins Croquet Club members for morning and afternoon teas

Results:
Winner: Derek Kinley, Cashmere (centre)

Third: Geraldine Lummis, Fendalton (right)

Cheers
