The winner of the Secretary Trophy was Kevin Wright who won all of his games.
The Secretary Trophy is a 14-point competition played to advanced rules with bisques, the lift hoops being 3 and 5. We set a time limit of one hour and twenty minutes plus five minutes for double-banked games. There were nine entrants, Brian Cosford, Roger Binks, Lyn Gilpin, Joe Lennon, Hamish Duguid, Kevin Wright, Jamieson Walker, Jola Jurasinska, and Stefan Colling.
13-14 July 2019, Meadows
It was a weekend of close sporting encounters. England won the Cricket World Cup in a Golden Over having tied scores after 50 overs. Djokovic beat Federer at Wimbledon in a fifth set tie-break. But the most nail-bitingly exciting action took place at the Meadows Open.
7-8 September 2018, Albury and Northfield Centres
Hosted by Aberdeen and Crathes Croquet Club, 13 entered this year’s event with the regulars from the North of England and the Central Belt along with local players. Format 18 point handicap games with two hour time limits.
Blocks 1 and 2 were played at Albury with no clear winner in either. Qualifying on two wins each were George Plant and Steve Skelton (Block 1) and Hamish Duguid and Ian Hall (Block 2). It was interesting that all the qualifiers had fewer gross hoops than the 3rd/4th players. Block 3 was played at the new venue of Northfield Sports Centre, the lawns proving to be really flat and true. Both ACCC members Bill and Robert emerged as leaders on three wins and the final round between them would decide who played in the Final and Wine Final. As a result of his three wins Robert’s handicap was reduced from 18 to 16 - good news for Bill as he was now only conceding 6 bisques instead of 7½.
