An annual event held at Waireka Club involving 12 players from each region covering handicaps 0 – 11. The sunny weather was appreciated and made for a great day of croquet. 

This event is played with senior, intermediate and primary players playing in mixed doubles teams followed by graded singles. A format that allows a lot of learning for the higher handicap players. During the final round it became clear that the winner would be decided during the last 2 games – Canterbury needing both wins to win by net hoops and South Canterbury requiring 1 win to win outright. 

Congratulations to South Canterbury now the holder of ‘Larry the Lamb’ trophy until next year.

Canterbury players represented Broadfield, Cashmere, United, St Martins, Akaroa and Holmes Park .
