Today Sussex County competed in a last 16 Longmans cup match against Compton Croquet Club. The teams were very evenly matched in handicaps and we played 7 games in the day.

Compton had the best of the morning with Simon Fenn-Tye, Steve Chapman and Robyn Clarke loosing but Nigel Billingham won his singles so we were 2-1 down.

The afternoon started well with Nigel winning again but Steve lost a close match against good opposition. Simon managed to win a very close game to even the games to 3-3.

All now depended on Robyn who won her singles to give us a 4-3 win.

Well done to everyone from both clubs for a competitive match played in a friendly way making it an enjoyable day for all.
