The Stanthorpe Mallet players were back on the court last week for at least a few games.
Pauline Smith and Jenny Tunbridge took on Grace Howard and Heather Widderick in a very tough game of Association Croquet. It was Howard and Widderick who came away with a 20-17 win after a tough battle took the win 20-17.
On Wednesday (29/6) the Golf Croquet players were greeted with cold foggy and damp conditions. Only three players braved those conditions and played two rounds of croquet.
Shirley Evans played Liz Ellway and Jennifer Gleadhill. Evans was playing with her usual accuracy and scored a total of 13 hoops.
Ellway was also in good form and scored eight hoops and Gleadhill another two however it was not enough to secure a win and Evans won the game 13-10.
In the second game roles were reversed and Gleadhill played a solo hand against Evans and Ellway. Gleadhill must have thawed out because she found some form and scored a healthy 11 hoops. It was a good result but not quite enough to beat her formidable opponents.
Ellway scored another eight hoops while Evans added six to the total and the pair nailed a 14-11 win
Evans had one jump shot and a hole in one in the game.
As conditions deteriorated even further on Friday the Gateball matches were cancelled.
