Welcome to the Scottish Croquet Association

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.

Middle Bisquers 2019

8-9 June 2019, Knightswood

Six players with a handicap range between 4 and 12 took part in this year's Middle Bisquers in Glasgow. Expecting the worst of weather on the Saturday we were delighted to experience a warm sultry day with only a brief 20 minute shower.  The pleasant weather continued into the Sunday with a bright warm day.  Throughout the weekend the lawns were even paced and the hoops more forgiving than very tight.

Using an all-play-all block results generally followed handicap levels with the exception of Bill Strachan's +19 win over Rosemary Saunders Robertson. Well done Bill!  New Glasgow boy Calum Worsley (handicap 10) playing his first tournament in Scotland managed one win.  We look forward to a fast-improving Calum on the Scottish scene.  Your correspondent won all of his games in time but was most pressed by the higher handicap players (why I ask?) and therefore won this year's event.

Spring Weekend 2019

4-5 May 2019, Meadows

Hamish Duguid presenting the trophy to Roger BinksHeld at Meadows CC, the Spring Weekend attracted eight players prepared to accept colder conditions.  Saturday had some sun and a hint of rain and Sunday was cooler, but dry.  Recent weather and fertiliser had encouraged grass growth to an excessive length for some, and runs near hoops were evident; generally the surface played well, despite noticeable undulations.
