2023-02-26 The VCA held their annual Association Croquet Gold Cup, Silver Shield and Bronze Shield at Cairnlea over the weekend of the 25th and 26th of February.The lawns are lovely, particularly for this time of year and the fresh green Courts were a welcome sight on a very hot and windy Saturday morning. Each Event had a round robin of 8 players and competition was fierce. It’s a beautiful thing to see all 12 lawns in action and the quality of play was extremely high in all 3 competitions. Players have all given the Selectors notice that AC is alive and well in Victoria. Many had travelled in order to take part and I thank everyone for competing with such good spirit and friendly attitudes – at the same time, with no quarter given and hard fought victories all weekend. There were a few peg-outs, but for the most part, every pair battled until the clocks said “no more!”. The Gold Cup was won by Kevin Beard who completed his round robin undefeated to take home the silverware – well, in this case, the Gold! The runner up was Stephen Forster with 5 wins, winning a game clear of the competition. The Silver Shield was taken home by Tricia Devlin with 6 wins, with Elaine Coverdale as the Runner-Up winning 5 games. Mignon Johnston won the Bronze Shield with 5 wins and +44 nett hoops and the Runner-Up was Kim Collins on 5 wins with +21 nett hoops
