Well finals day had come,
The club members had battled well,
Four players had reached the two finals.
The final battle was to be fought,
The club members were there
To watch the fights,
Watch the fights on the croquet lawn.
Mallets were drawn
And the first pair fought.
They went to the first hoop
And the battle took place,
Each other’s balls hit away
Until fifteen minutes later
The first ball went through,
Each hoop was then run through
And one player could do no wrong,
She reached the eighth hoop,
Put the ball through,
And won the game.
The second final was then fought,
A cut and thrust battle,
Neither knight would surrender
Until one eventually overcame the other
And won the match on the tenth hoop.
A wonderful day of croquet
Bringing the club together even more.
Good sport,
With good humour,
Very good food,
And such wonderful companionship.
A superb day.
