A great day held in sunny warm weather at St Martins Croquet Club on SUnday 22 September 2024. This season the tournament was held in 2 divisions. 

A full field of 16 Canterbury and South Canterbury players enjoyed the challenge and for some their first games of Advantage. 

We started the day at 8:45am and after 6 rounds the daylight hours were quickly evaporating. As the finalists were decided by wins and percentage of hoops made v hoops required (net hoops not used in Advantage) we were able to determine the finalists. Unfortunately there was not time to hold a semi and a final – the final round would be a playoff between the top 2 players and the 3rd and 4th placegetters who chose not to play 

Final: Terry Green, Rangiora was ready to defend the title he won last year playing against Mike Bunce from St Martins. Both players winning 5 of their 6 games. 

Terry started on – 1 and Mike Bunce on 0. 

Winner: Terry Green – well done to both players and look forward to seeing you back next season
