2024-10-06	EMCA Bear Cup 2024 In the year 2000 the first Bear Cup Challenge was held at Kew Croquet Club. To have a competitive challenge, it was necessary to have a trophy and so the BEAR CUP trophy was born. The making of this trophy was a combined effort, Les (Lilydale) provided the red gum base, Esther (Kew) finding the cup in an op-shop, Nance (Kew) finding the bear and fitting him out, finally Rudi (Kew) making the miniature croquet mallet. Later, Jill Johnstone (Kew) made the mat he rests on. The colours representing the clubs involved in the challenge. read more...
2024-09-29	Brighton Croquet Club Tournament The weather gods were kind to us over the two weekends of our tournament in September. One short shower and some chilly winds were our only problem! To our delight we were able to field a competition in all 4 divisions. The first weekend saw Div 1 and Div 2 play. There was an amazing game between Greg Hill and our own Simon Watkins, cat and mouse, pinpoint accuracy, wiring, and plotting! Greg Hill (Brunswick) was eventually the winner, Simon Watkins runner up. Winner of Div 2 was David Pryor (Kew), who won all his games, and runner up Andrew Moulton (Kew). read more...
2024-09-22	Brian Reither Association Croquet Challenge A new name will shortly be engraved on the Brian Reither Association Croquet Challenge trophy. Robert Fletcher has won the trophy three times - every year since its inauguration in 2020. This year the two players who have been past runners up to Robert battled it out in the final, with Greg Hill (Brunswick) defeating Trevor Bassett (Cooks River, NSW) 26:14. read more...
