B and C Level Series Tournaments 25th and 26th April

Over a very sunny weekend two Croquet England Tournaments were held at the Club

On the Saturday it was the turn of the B Series Tournament for competitors below a D grade of 1700. 32 players took part using nine lawns.

The first part of the day was playing in 8 blocks of 4 with the top two players from each block going forward to the main knockout and the remaining 16 playing for the plate and other places.

There were many hard fought matches but eventually Matthew Parsons from Bradford upon Avon and our own Vincent L’Estrange got through to the final with Matthew winning overall by 7 games to 4.

Thanks to the catering team for producing a welcome lunch during a very long day’s play.

The C Level Tournament was a slightly more sedate affair with twelve competitors competing for the trophy.

This time they played in two blocks of 6 with the top four players going forward for the knockout and the remainder playing for places.

Several Sussex County players did well during the day and Diana Rolfe got through to the final against Tim Weller from Worthing. Diana was the winner in the final beating Tim 7 games to 3.

Thanks to Andrew Stewart for managing both events.

Full results to be found on CroquetScores for the B level and separately for the C level tournament.
