Even under Covid rules, Camerton and Peasedown Croquet Club has had an exciting year, welcoming over ten new members and taking part in regional and national competitions.

Colin Britt won the ‘A’ level Series and Andy Loakes gaining second place in the All England Championship – but the ‘icing on the cake’ must be Final’s Day.

The sun shone down as players of all skill levels battled it out and games were won/lost by only one point.

The Level Doubles was won by Jill and Craig Shaw by 7 to 6 against Christina Sandford and Robin Oldland.

The Handicap Singles was won by Steve Perry 7 to 5 (Steve and Phil Hendy fought for each hoop).

The Handicap Doubles was another well fought match, Mo Boys and Tony Brooks won through against Andy Loakes and Nigel Wulcko by 7 to 5.

The Level Singles pitted the club’s two best players against each other. We watched top class play and eventually Andy Loakes won against Colin Britt by 7 to 6.

The High Handicap Singles pitted Marylin Hendy against Nigel Wulcko – and Marylin had eleven extra turns, after another momentous battle, Marylin just won by 7 to 6.

Association Singles was won by Colin Britt, who won by only one point against John Rowley (15 to 14).

The Short Croquet Final was won by Mo Boys against David Milford 14 to 6.

At the end, the Club Chair (Mo Boys) thanked everyone for coming or taking part, Colin Britt for organising the tournament, not forgetting those who provided tea and cakes.
