Scottish Croquet Association 
5 June 2022, Meadows
Kenny Pollock won the Scottish GC handicap championship on Sunday 5 June at Meadows Croquet Club on a bright sunny day.
There were ten competitors all day, some of whom were playing in their first championship. The players were divided into two blocks, where all played all with one person sitting out each round. The Advantage GC handicap system was used, which Brian Durward explained at the start and everyone soon got the hang of.
30 Apr - 1 May, Meadows
James Hopgood won the Scottish Masters.
23-24 April, Knightswood
The Glasgow Open 2022 was played over the weekend of 23/24 April at Knightswood in Glasgow’s bracing spring sunshine.
There were five competitors - four each day - playing all-play-all each day in timed Advanced matches with an Egyptian scoring system while double-banked on an unpredictable lawn.
Day 1 saw Rosemary Saunders-Robertson win all four of her matches while Roger Binks, Kevin Wright and Stefan Colling won a game each against each other.
This unfortunately meant that Alan Wilson started Day 2 in second place having not played on Day 1. He won two of his games on Day 2 but it wasn’t enough to catch Rosemary who had already built up a significant cushion.
All games were played in good spirits and the players were delighted to receive visits from Joe Lennon and Brian Durward during the weekend and to enjoy some alcohol-free beer provided by the latter - a very civilised way to play croquet.
In the absence of a trophy, Rosemary was presented with a can of alcohol-free beer on the day and then presented with the trophy at the Meadows the following weekend.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this a fun weekend.
