Chester win the Snowdonia Cup

On Sunday, 6 October, Chester played away against Tattenhall in the club’s final match in this year’s Snowdon Cup competition.  This is a local regional inter-club competition for handicap golf croquet and short lawn association croquet between four Cheshire and North Wales clubs – Chester, Tattenhall, Craig-y-Don and Llanfairfechan. It started in 2019 with the aim of encouraging newcomers and less experienced players to take part in team events but has become increasingly competitive since then.

The Chester team for this final short lawn match against Tattenhall was Andy Wilson-Chalon, Val Sanders and Liz Rowley. Having beaten Llafairfechan and Craig-y-Don in previous short lawn matches, Chester unfortunately narrowly lost the match 4 – 5.

However, on the following day, Tattenhall beat Llanfairfechan. That coupled with Chester winning two of the three handicap golf croquet matches earlier in the season meant that Chester emerged at this year’s overall winner of the Snowdon Cup after previously winning it in 2023. Congratulations to Chester!
