Yesterday our club held its annual ‘Team Challenge’ competition whereby all the individual teams, Reds, Blues, Greens & Purples, over the 3 divisions compete against each other using the Advanced handicap system. A great,fun,sunny, day towards the end of the season now that all the external matches are completed, with the added quirk of counting up to 11 hoops to win a game! 😄…
It was a close thing between Reds, Blues & Greens with Greens the ones to beat going into the last round when any one of those 3 could have taken it…. ( shout out to our 3rd division purples, led by Heather, who did brilliantly and were nipping at the heels of the rest all the way through 🙌 )

The Greens held on and took the trophy for the 1st time since we initiated this competition 4 years ago.
Well done Greens ! 🏆 👏

Well done Mick ( also Greens Team Capt’n,) for organising & scoring….

and …thanks to Hilda & Lyn for home cooked treats. 😋

In this month’s edition of “Talking Croquet”.. a lovely piece & photo submitted by our good friend Peter Tymms of Croquet Durham.
He is curious as to whether dad , Ted, ( age 93, handicap of 4) is the oldest ‘competing’ gent of GC in our league and beyond. He is currently captain of our 1st division ‘Blue team’

Yesterday our Fab Four, Four Musketeers, 1st. Div Red team , whatever you wish to call them ( I’m sure you can think of alternatives!) … otherwise known as Tom, Wendy,Ian & Ann went to Backworth to compete for the Turner Goblet Trophy 🏆 . ( an individual event, not a team one) .
Tom & Wendy reached the final to play against each other last year with Tom victorious so he was defending his title.
Wendy was way below par and had a disappointing day overall but Ann, Tom & Ian all did well and especially Ian who got himself into the final against the lovely Peter Tymms. 👏
Ian took a nice early lead and we were all holding our breath, the support from our bench obvious ☺️..but Peter, calmly,edged in front and managed to get the win .. and the trophy 🏆.
Well done all of our team, you take the bad days with the good , well done Ian for making it to the final ! An achievement for sure ….. As we’ve said before and will say many times ..We go again next year ..😄…. A lovely day., lovely weather and like minded people. Thanks to Don and all the team at Backworth for their hospitality & cake!

Over 3 days within the space of a week we have held our annual “All-in” competition. Exactly as it says, this is open, level play, to all of our members regardless of handicap and is a knock out competition with semi finals and a final…… we have been amazingly lucky with the weather which held off brilliantly on the days we played and poured on the ones in between ! ☔️😬…..
A few snaps from the week including our new winner… Tom 👏🏆 …who takes the trophy from last year’s winner , Wendy.
The four finalists were Tom, Ian, Derek and Wendy.
Thanks to John & Hilda who stepped in to help with scoring and time keeping….also Ian, Lyn & Hilda for delicious treats.
Well done to all that took part, a lot of fun and laughter as always.

Today our 2nd division Alnmouth Greens had a trip over to the beautiful setting of Belsay Castle & Gardens to meet Belsay Hall for the final match in their, and indeed the club’s, league calendar across all 3 divisions.
Belsay took an early lead and by the half way mark were comfortably well in front.
After lunch, and as the afternoon progressed, Belsay kept their strong lead and Alnmouth Greens, despite some great efforts, well fought & close games, couldn’t catch up. 6 golden hoops were contested which shows how close the games were. A single shot the difference between winning and losing a game. Closer than the score would suggest

Final result Belsay Hall - 16
Alnmouth Greens -2
Well done to everyone

Yesterday our 3rd division Alnmouth Purples welcomed lovely Backworth to our lawns for their final match in the league calendar on what turned out to be a beautiful warm day indeed with some good play by both teams. . Our Purples took an early lead but were aware that Backworth were nipping at their heels and managed to keep the lead and win the match 12-6 .

Both teams had a fabulous day, great team spirit and some laughs, as it should be.
This is an important division in the league which sees many players, including new ones with ambition, enjoy some competitive croquet , see different lawns, meet other teams and get more familiar with the game and it’s rules. A great entry point to league croquet.

Thanks to Hilda for her delicious sausage rolls! 😊… and Ian for his, now very familiar, much loved home made cake. It would not be the same without it !! 🍰

Final result 12-6 to Alnmouth Purples

Alnmouth Red Team treat today from me, team captain, Wendy…. We didn’t get the trophy, as there is only one, 🫤 ( we were pipped by Durham Bede on hoop difference ..since we tied) but we share the Top spot on matches so we will settle for that……………..this year!! 😊

Thanks to my team , Tom, Ian & Ann for their efforts and support this season. 👏. We go again next year.

Today our 2nd division Alnmouth Greens had a drive down the A1 to Tyneside for their penultimate match of the league calendar. With the sun shining and short sleeves showing our Greens took an early lead and by half way were just ahead by a game.
After lunch Tyneside Hunters hunted down some wins and took the lead and then kept it so the final result was a win for Tyneside 10.5 - 7.5

Well done both teams , a close match.

Today our 1st division Alnmouth Blues took a trip down the A1 to Durham Bede to play the final match of the league calendar.
Under sunny skies Alnmouth Blues had some close games and played some fabulous shots and jumps but Durham were not letting them get the wins and took them to a final score of 13-5 .
Despite the scoreline Alnmouth Blues had a great day against a great team we know and respect so well now.

This final result meant that Durham Bede finished joint 1st position at the top of the table with Alnmouth Reds….

So now total games won over all matches decides a winner and Durham Bede take the trophy 🏆 based on games won… they win by 7.5 games.

Well done Durham 👏…
we go again next year 😎…

Yesterday our first division ‘Alnmouth Reds’ took a trip south to our furthest away opponents Bishop Aukland for the final match in our league calendar.
The forecast was for heavy , thundery showers and we certainly got a couple of those, however for most of the day the sun shone through and It was coats off, shoulders back, heads down and try and win the last match. ( first lesson of the day , check you have your own mallet and not somebody else’s from your own club 90 minutes away! 🤦🏼‍♀️😳)
Alnmouth Reds took an early lead and kept it for a good while until Bishop Auckland caught up taking us to 7-7 .
In the last spurt they won all 4 to take the win 11-7 .
Disappointing for Alnmouth Reds to not secure the final win but well done Bishop Aukland, all players on top form.
The result leaves Alnmouth Reds top of the league table, with Durham at their heels , a game in hand ….. a win for them will see us share the top spot … with just hoops run deciding the outright winner. 😊..
