V for Vickery!

Phyllls Court suffered a narrow loss at High Wycombe in the Southern Federation GC 'B' League after a compelling deciding game from Kay Vickery. With all other matches completed Kay still had a decider to play in front of what was a huge crowd (for croquet) of the six other players. Initially going behind, Kay gave everyone some tense moments, tea was spilt, cake ignored - but Kay was made of steel today and she rallied, commanded the court and brought home victory on the Golden Hoop.
 
It was a close run thing all day with all but two of the matches going to a third game and five games going to the Golden Hoop. Congrats to Michael and Nigel M for their wins and no thanks to me for losing both of mine -- but, it did make that final game compelling! 

Here are the team (Nigel Moore, Kay, Michael Bowker and Mark Higgins) and Raghu Iyer representing Phyllis Court.
