Welcome to the Scottish Croquet Association (SCA). We use this site to bring you all the latest Scottish Croquet news, details of tournaments, and information for Croquet players both established and new. 

The SCA is the Scottish Governing Body (SGB) of Croquet, as recognised by sportscotland. The SCA is first and foremost concerned with the interests of Croquet players playing in Scotland, or those who regularly come and play in Scotland.

The SCA is entirely voluntarily run, is completely not-for-profit, and exists to achieve the following objectives by working with Croquet Clubs and individuals:

  1. to encourage, promote, and develop the sport of Croquet in Scotland;
  2. to promote and manage Croquet competitions and to encourage participation and improve performance at all levels;
  3. to ensure it is a fit-for-purpose Governing Body that is recognised by the sports councils, to ensure that Croquet is a recognised sport, and to ensure that Croquet is administered in a way that meets current legislation.

This website contains more information about the SCA and its policies, membership information, and more importantly, information, results, and reports about Croquet events in Scotland.

Basil Townsend Quaich 2020

1 August 2020, Auchincruive

On a fairly sunny, windy, but midge-free and rain-free day, four clubs competed for the Basil Townsend Quaich: Auchincruive (Kevin Wright), Edinburgh (David Fell), Glasgow (Stefan Colling) and Meadows (John Campbell). The competition was played over three rounds of 18-point handicap AC on the Auchincruive lawn under socially distanced guidelines.

This was a fairly close competition and going into the third round, three of the players could still win it.  After the final round, Auchincruive, Edinburgh and Glasgow had all won two games and lost one, but Glasgow (Stefan) was the overall winner as he had a much better hoop difference, mainly due to him playing his bisques to great effect in his game against Kevin, and making an 8-hoop break! So well done to Glasgow and Stefan! Despite social distancing a pleasant day was had by all.
