GC Champion of Champions Results

Posted on 31/07/2017 by admin

The 9th Croquetwest GC Champion of Champions was held on the weekend, Eric Ayling of York continued his recent top form from AC to take a narrow victory and his first Champion of Champions GC title.

Eric shot extremely well, backed it up with good positioning and quickly adapted tactics.

The competition had a good field of 12 and the standard was very high, with many tough hard fought games.

Croquetwest now also acknowledges the Country and Metro winners individually (this has been backdated through the 8 previous years).

Thus Eric also wins the country section for the 2nd time and Brett McHardy wins his 3rd metro title.

Australia Wins the AC MacRobertson Shield!

Posted on 28/04/2017 by admin

Congratulations to the Australian AC team, captained by WA’s Ian Dumergue, on winning the the most prestigious teams event in Association Croquet, the MacRobertson Shield. Australia beat the US in the final test last night (with one day still to play). This gave Australia a clean sweep, beating New Zealand in the second test and winning against England in the first test. This is the first time Australia has won the event since 1935. What a fantastic result for Australian Croquet and an amazing achievement by Ian personally.
