Aberdeen Tournament 2022

11 September 2022, Albury

Due to considerable fox damage on the croquet lawn, and potential for similar damage on the bowling green, a full tournament was not possible. However, four people played a one-day all-play-all tournament with the usual 18-point format (both clips starting on hoop 1). Bill Strachan had moved the hoop holes to avoid the damaged areas being a problem near the hoops, and there appeared to be no significant impact on the play.

CA v SCA 2022

27-28 August, York

Saturday dawned fair with the forecast of a difficult contest ahead as, on paper, the CA team was much stronger.

The first cunning ploy of the English was to get members of our team involved in the setting of hoops.  The ground was incredibly firm and strongly resistant to accepting hoops and much sweat and frustration was expended in trying to achieve firmness.  Whether this contributed to our poor start is debatable but we lost the opening set of three doubles which, unfortunately, set the scene for the rest of the weekend.  I think, also, that we behaved too much like the perfect guests, allowing our hosts to relax as we dragged defeat from the jaws of 'certain' victory on far too many occasions.  Our cause was not helped either by Rosemary feeling rather poorly all weekend (tested positive for Covid on return).

Spalding Trophy 2022

20 August 2022, Knightswood

Like last year, there was a disappointing lack of entries from Edinburgh players, and there were just two teams, John Owen and Bill Strachan from Aberdeen and Crathes Croquet Club (ACCC), the holders of the trophy, and Brian Durward and Stefan Colling from Glasgow Croquet Club. It was agreed to play two games, the first of which would be an alternate stroke doubles (ASD), and the second would be conventional doubles, both played to advanced rules. Gross hoops would be used as a tie-breaker if each team won one match.
