Chester Centurions played Bury Sovereigns at home in the NW golf croquet level play league on Wednesday, 11 June.
The Chester Centurions team of Jude Wise (captain), Rick Davies and David Crawford welcomed the Bury Sovereigns team of David Barrett, Richard Leach and Bernard Lord on a beautifully warm sunny day. Play commenced at 10.00 am and all enjoyed their games on our lovely green lawns after some welcome rain last week. The games were good, enjoyed by all with some closely fought, but Chester were on a roll from the start winning all their 9 games before lunch.
After lunch the afternoon sunshine became quite hot, with everyone needing to keep hydrated. Despite the heat, both teams continued playing well, with friendly but challenging games finishing around 5.00 pm. However, Chester held out and won all except one game resulting in a victorious win for 17 – 1 win for Chester Centurions.
