Scottish Short Croquet Championship 2021
18 July 2021, Balgreen
Kathy Brown won the Scottish Short Croquet Championship defeating Jane Morrison in the final. Kathy took an early lead and used her 4 bisques wisely. Jane, with 2 mandatory peels to make, managed to get ahead and complete one of them but when time was called Kathy drew level and won the “golden hoop” ending.
Players from Edinburgh, Meadows and Glasgow joined the Balgreen members and enjoyed good weather and short but intense games of croquet on the fast and well maintained lawns. Calum Worsley had tied with Kathy on 4 wins in their block but Kathy had better net points. The other block was clearer with Jane the only player on 4 wins, defeated only by Joe. Kathy, who had just become a Grandma, took home the trophy and a bottle of the SCA’s finest claret.
