Welcome to the Scottish Croquet Association

Welcome to the Scottish Croquet Association (SCA). We use this site to bring you all the latest Scottish Croquet news, details of tournaments, and information for Croquet players both established and new. 

The SCA is the Scottish Governing Body (SGB) of Croquet, as recognised by sportscotland. The SCA is first and foremost concerned with the interests of Croquet players playing in Scotland, or those who regularly come and play in Scotland.

The SCA is entirely voluntarily run, is completely not-for-profit, and exists to achieve the following objectives by working with Croquet Clubs and individuals:

  1. to encourage, promote, and develop the sport of Croquet in Scotland;
  2. to promote and manage Croquet competitions and to encourage participation and improve performance at all levels;
  3. to ensure it is a fit-for-purpose Governing Body that is recognised by the sports councils, to ensure that Croquet is a recognised sport, and to ensure that Croquet is administered in a way that meets current legislation.

This website contains more information about the SCA and its policies, membership information, and more importantly, information, results, and reports about Croquet events in Scotland.

Scottish Masters 2026

23-24 May, Meadows

Chris won the Scottish Masters beating Alastair in a tie-break after both had finished with 5 wins out of 6.

With a heatwave developing, the azaleas in bloom, and Edinburgh inundated with runners for the marathon, the Meadows hosted the Scottish Masters. There were 10 entrants, with handicaps ranging from -1½ to 10, including two from firth of Scotland - Dennis Bulloch of New Zealand and Robbie Dodds from England. Despite the challenging conditions of tight hoops and slow lawns, most games were completed within the 2hr 50min time limits.

SCA v CAI 2026

9-10 May, Balgreen

The Irish team of Nathaniel Healy, Russell Harris, Brian Havill, Alan Looney, Huw Spiers and debutant Henry Bagwell travelled as holders to the new Scottish National Croquet Centre at Balgreen in Edinburgh. However Russell did a little unintended detour to say goodbye to the old venue at Meadows.

The Scots team of John Owen, Stefan Colling, Rosemary Saunders Robertson, Kathy Brown and Roger Binks were led by captain Chris Martin and had a clean sweep of the opening three doubles matches before the two afternoon singles sessions were equally shared 6-6, so the overnight score stood at 9-6 to the Scots. The venue’s catering volunteer Charlotte Townsend did a wonderful job in warming us up with a welcome bowl of soup as a chilly East wind took its toll in the morning. This was followed by an array of other delicious dishes. Led by tournament manager Jane Morrison we all retired for a wonderful Italian meal washed down by delicious wines.
