Scottish Short Croquet Championship 2024
16 June 2024, Balgreen
On a damp Sunday with extra downpours to keep us on our toes, eight players from all the Edinburgh clubs assembled at Balgreen, with handicaps from 4-20. Welcome to Soma Orehóczki, a new member at the Meadows playing in his first Scottish tournament.
The format used was Swiss with a 1 hour time limit. After five rounds a clear winner had emerged with Roger Binks winning 5 from 5 playing very well and consistently throughout. Following closely on his heels were Mark Shanks on 4 wins, and Bruce Bennet and Soma Orehóczki on 3 wins each.
Congratulations to Roger.
Mark Shanks
