The Victorian Association Croquet Divisional Championships were run over the weekend of 8-9 November.
The top section was the Tregellas Medal where players were in the handicap range of 6-10. This event was first played in 1941 and was won this year by Damien Hadfield (Kyneton) who didn't lose a game. Runner up was Andrew Moulton (Kew) who only had one loss.
There were two sections playing for the Nelson Medal. Chelsea Williams (Queenscliff) won the handicap range 11-16 section defeating Fred Littmann (Deniliquin) in the Final. Chelsea achieved her first ever Pegout, scoring the maximum 26 points in her game against Alistair Rowland (Glenunga SA).
Karyn-Camille King (Williamstown) had a narrow win in the Nelson Medal 18-20 section with 5 wins and +38 net hoops. Janelle Morris (Belmont) also had 5 wins but was Runner up on a countback with +10 net hoops. Both players achieved a well deserved reduction in their handicap from 18 to 16 during the event.
