What a ripper of a day for croquet and yes even tennis.

Thirteen players were at the ready to soak in the Vitamin D and pit mind over muscle.

Val Smith and Joy Poole 7 winning by a hoop over Mavis Marzol and Marie Pease 6.

Joy was in fine form to notch up three more wins with partners Les Fisher, Daisy Cullen and Ivan Moxey.

Errol Ruming also had four wins with Daisy, Marie, Colleen and Ivan.

Colleen had three wins with Leon Shade, Errol and Frazer Fairfull.

The shot of the day would have to be when Audrey Shade set up her play with partner Betty Knight to take out the two opponents balls and went through the hoop herself, great strategy, not good luck.

He is going to have to make himself another mallet … so many using his with the hope of his famous jump shots rubbing off.
