Friendly Croquet Match with Watford played at High Wycombe on 31st May

 A team of eight players from High Wycombe Croquet Club challenged Watford Croquet Club to a game of level play Golf Croquet. This was played as a “friendly” game where the result is not of prime importance. This was just as well as High Wycombe lost 3-13! We believe that there were a number of players from Watford who wanted to come and play on our excellent lawns, and so their team had a number of low handicappers, including one on -2. This was matched by the difference in height of some players. (Please see the photograph of Jenny Leach and Jason Carley)

The day was played in mixed weather varying between pleasant sunshine and heavy rain, although it could have been a bit warmer. However the sun came out for lunchtime, and we were all able to enjoy it.

In spite of the poor result for High Wycombe everyone enjoyed the day, and we look forward to a return match at Watford on Friday 1st July.
