Report1 AstroTurf March 2010
Three keen croquet players from the Woodhall Spa Croquet Club travelled to the Shobnall Leisure Centre recently to play golf croquet on astroturf in a federation event sponsored by Molson Coors. Competitors played 6 games with a 30 minute time limit and were thrilled that this year it was a sunny and dry day.
Newcomer Mary Timms from Nocton managed a draw in her second block of games, whilst other newcomer Roger Reed from Woodhall Spa was delighted with his 3 wins and one draw. Established and long-serving member Patricia Duke-Cox od Woodhall Spa also managed 3 wins but had 2 draws and ended with positive points. However, the run-away winners from one of the Ashby clubs were unbeaten throughout the day and won both the team and individual trophies. The wooden spoon was not won by Woodhall Spa.
The other clubs that participated came from Southwell, Ashby de la Zouch, Bakewell and Leicester.
