This relatively new Tournament was held at St Martins Croquet Club on Sunday 10th March 2024.
There were only 5 Teams with 4 of the Teams having players representing different clubs.
The format of play was a Round Robin with each team having a bye within the 5 rounds. A knockout was then played with the 4th and 5th positions after the Round Robin playing off for the 4th position in the semi final followed by the Final.

With such a small field no games were timed and it was some what of a very long day. However, the weather was perfect and daylight was not an issue as we finished before 7:30.
Sincere thanks to the catering team from St Martins for the effort they made throughout the day providing continuous morning tea and then afternoon tea.
Thank you to Sylvia, Vilna, and John who were able to assist with ensuring a referee was present during the day.
Congratulations to the winning team of Josh Winter (Cashmere), and Paul Kaiser (United). Runners-up Gay Jones (Cashmere) and Sue Cleveland (Geraldine).
A very successful day providing some very exciting play throughout.
