Chester Cup GC tournaments

Two club golf croquet tournaments were played at Chester Croquet Club on Saturday, 21 June. The A-Level Chester Cup attracted six club members and four members competed for the B-Level Plaque. It was a hot and humid day but with occasional light showers which were very welcome.

The A-Level players on lawns one and two played an all-play-all format with three games in the morning and two in the afternoon. By lunchtime David Boyd had a clean sheet of wins and was looking hard to beat. This proved to be the case in the afternoon session and he swept to victory by winning every game. Roger Edwards was a convincing runner-up.

Over on lawns 3 and 4 Christine Thomas won the morning rounds with Edward Baskerville a very close second among the B-Level players. After lunch, the semi-finals and finals resulted in a win for Edward Baskerville with Christine Thomas a worthy runner up.

David Boyd was presented with the A-Level Chester Cup and Edward Baskerville the B-Level Plaque and both received a bottle of Champagne for their achievements.
