Littlehampton Centenary Competition

A sunny day with a warm breeze set the scene for Littlehampton’s annual Centenary invitational on Sunday 19th July.This popular day, ably managed by Bob and Robyn Clark, was as ever the perfect mix of socialising and some pretty competitive croquet.

Southwick’s team of Clive & Angela Jones, Sue Kilby and Linda Gavigan found the lawns a challenge in the first round but gained momentum as the day progressed to finished in a creditable 5th place out of 8 teams against some low handicaps.

Chichester took home the trophy for the 4th time in 5 years with Littlehampton in second place and Lodsworth third.

The Littlehampton members provided an outstanding display of delicious cakes for tea and an enormous raffle together with a quiz sheet to keep everyone busy during lulls between games which was won by Littlehampton because everyone else forgot to hand in their sheets!!
