Heavy defeat at Sydenham

We started our season in the Croquet South-East Golf Croquet Handicap league with a heavy defeat, 8-1, at Sydenham on Monday 8 July.

The team struggled to master the idiosyncrasies of Sydenham’s single lawn – most notably, when Denis Cruse attempted to clear an opponent’s ball but his ball jumped over the opponent’s for no apparent reason!

Trevor Houghton-Berry secured our one point, and spared our blushes, with a singles victory
