Wilkinson Sword 2022
6 August 2022, Knightswood
Teams arrived at Knightswood from Glasgow, Auchincruive, Balgreen and Aberdeen & Crathes croquet clubs to compete for the Wilkinson Sword handicap doubles. The weather was changeable with sunshine in both the liquid and traditional format.
Due to time pressures a full all-play-all format was not practical so we had a draw for semi-finals and final. The first round saw Balgreen drawn against Glasgow and Auchincruive against Aberdeen & Crathes with victories for Balgreen and Auchincruive. This produced a final between Auchincruive and Balgreen which Auchincruive won after a low scoring game with a close finish. Meanwhile Aberdeen & Crathes beat Glasgow 26-24 after a match-winning final turn by Bill Strachan.
