Email: [email protected] It's a vibrant little club, enjoyed by young and old!
Established in 1926, Marrickville Croquet Club is located in a picturesque corner of Marrickville Park, adjacent to a much beloved franjapani tree. No better place to be on a summers day or evening (yes- we have night croquet), sitting on the verandah of our historic clubhouse or knocking some balls around the lawn with your friends...

The Marrickville Meteors have finished their Makara campaign with a win over the Cooks River Dreamers earlier this week. They are currently at the top of their block with the Coogee Coasters and Marrickville Mavericks hot on their heels.
Pitured: Peter Molloy, Ruth Brian who both played singles, and Peter with double partner Gwynneth Shelly Jones. The 4th Meteor, Judy Tonkin was not there for this match.

Marrickville is lucky to have a number of accredited referees, plus a couple of referees in training. Peter Sinclair ensured his visibility (essential at our single lawn venue ;) ) for yesterday's Makara match with a new look for croquet referees. We think it is much better than the construction worker vest that is the norm! Thank you Peter for supporting the players on the day.

The GC Div1 team had a big few days playing 3 tests over 4 days. A great result was the reward with 2 wins out of the 3! There are two more tests to come and we wish them the very best for play in them both! Go Marrickville!

The Meteors continue their stellar campaign in the Makara with a 4/1 win over the Sutherland Strikers yesterday.
It was a great day for croquet and both teams had a great day. Thank you to Margaret Lund for refereeing on the day.

Let there be light! Thank you IW Council and Councillor Mat Howard for your support for the club!
Over 40 years ago Marrickville Croquet Club made history as the first croquet club in NSW to have a court light. It was a bit past its use by and was just replaced by Inner West Council. Tonight we had our official lights on event! Members gathered at sunset to cheer as the light went on for evening play! Hooray for IW Council and hooray for croquet!

Well it's generally a joy to welcome Diane for a game of AC. Today is the return Gold Pennant match. Marrickville won yesterday's test, played at Wollongong, so we suspect Di was attempting to undermine the continuation of our campaign! She looks surprised 🤔.

All 3 Makara teams, the Meteors, Marvels and Mavericks, have been out successfully this week. Yesterday the Meteors had a trip to Coogee, sealing that test 4/1. One of the games was a timed out tie, with the result determined by a coin toss. Not the best way to win a game, but probably better than losing that way! Thankfully the match result was not determined by the toss, which may be some consolation for Cooge.
Well done Meteors!
