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.

And not rained off?
At first slightest drop of rain, cricketers all dash indoors!
No not at all. I have played in the pouring rain have even played in snow!

I didn't know Croquet could be so stressful. Sounded like a lot of fun. I suppose there's a technique to it all.
A few pints and some good food made it all worthwhile. I wonder if there is a piece of music about Croquet. Just to make your day that much better. Nice work. - Phil A,
Croquet is not the gentile game that many people assume it is, it is a full on battle ground. It is a great game and a lot of pleasure can be had with it.
We had a fabulous day Phil, thank you for your kind words.

Good old basketball in the hoop and yes championships we all need indeed
So true, I didn't win this one but got to the semi-final.
