SCA v Latvijas Kroketa federācija 2014

16-17 August 2014, Meadows

Seven Latvian players came over for a weekend's golf croquet in the midst of Edinburgh's Festival season.  The SCA put together a team which turned out to be distinctly stronger overall than the visiting team, and the home side won the match by 43 games to 11.  But, regardless of the score, in establishing friendly connections between the Scottish and Latvian croquet communities the visit was an outstanding success.

Edinburgh Tournament 2014

4-9 August 2014, Fettes College

The 2014 Edinburgh Tournament had a welcome resurgence of entries from the low numbers of the past few years, with 32 Association Croquet players (the most since 2009) plus four who were only in the Golf Croquet event.  It was particularly encouraging to see a good number of players entering from the first time, and most of them taking part in the singles as well as the doubles.  And four of these players, from different clubs, won trophies: Ian Hall, from Keswick, in the 4+ advanced singles, Charles Henderson (Crathes) in the 14+ handicap singles, new Meadows Club member Chris Martin in the main handicap doubles event, and David Young (Kinross) in the Y doubles.

Scottish Golf Croquet Championship 2014

26-27 July 2014, Meadows

The Scottish Golf Croquet Championship was relocated from Glasgow to Meadows because there were no entrants from the Glasgow Club and the Meadows lawns were available after the match against the Welsh Croquet Association was cancelled; and it was reduced in duration because some of the players preferred not to play two full days and in order to leave the lawns free for club play on Sunday afternoon.  The entry, initially small, was increased by these changes, and reached 10 players before falling back to eight through withdrawals.

An American block format was adopted, with provision for playoffs in case of a tie on games won in the block.  As it turned out, there was a four-way tie when the block was completed on Saturday evening, and the players were placed into a seeded two-round knockout, to be played on Sunday - in which Jane Morrison beat Bob Darling, Alan Wilson beat Fergus McInnes and it was Jane who went on to win the final.
