Meadows C Level GC Open

28 June 2024, Meadows

MCC is the National Centre for Croquet in Scotland and hosted the only C level GC level tournament in Scotland.  Many thanks to Brian Cosford for organising and John Graham for managing. Jill Black was a worthy winner and played her socks off to beat her friend Kim Dalland in the semis and Martin Howorth in the final. The other fab semi finalist was Angela Napuk - sorry for absence of photos! Commiserations to MCC member Judith Mann who narrowly lost out on getting in to the semi-final on a net hoops/who beat who basis.

Middle Bisquers 2024

8-9 June 2022, Balgreen

A clash of schedules with the inaugural appearance of the Balgreen GC team at Carrickmines for three European inter-club matches depleted the field for the Middle Bisquers.  Attempts to increase numbers worked temporarily; thus only four players competed in a single block twice round.  Proximity to Murrayfield, the Taylor Swift venue for three days, did not affect play but produced the spectacle of appropriately attired fans passing by the lawns for the evening concerts.

Both days were devoid of rain with good sunshine and intermittent cloud and occasional wind.  Lawns 1 and 2 were generally running well; the rabbits had not left many marks and the birds kept away.
