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.

Golf Croquet Handicap 2019

16 June 2019, Meadows

The event was played at the Meadows Croquet Club. Fortunately the anticipated rain kept off and it turned out to be ideal weather for playing croquet. There were only four entrants: Brian Cosford (6), Tom Dewar (6), Bruce Bennet (6) and Rachel Frith (11). This was disappointing and next year we must make more of an effort to ensure that GC players who are not SCA members are aware of this tournament and encouraged to enter.

As there were only four players everyone played everyone twice. We played six games, finishing at about 3.30 pm. There was some excellent play and several remarkable flukes such as running hoops one and two with one shot. As everyone had three wins the overall winner was decided on net points.

Basil Townsend Quaich 2019

21 July 2019, Auchincruive

In a close competition with most games going to time, four teams competed for the trophy: Auchincruive (Kevin Wright), Edinburgh (Kathy Brown), Glasgow (Richard Sparrow) and Meadows (Roger Binks), each team playing three 18-point games. The weather was fine apart from the last 20 minutes when the heavens opened on Kathy and Kevin who were still playing, and with the score level, had to play the ‘golden hoop’ in the torrential rain. Auchincruive, won all their games and took the trophy.
