ROB Hayes and John Wilson have retained the Barry Memorial Croquet Club’s golf croquet doubles championship for 2023.
Seven pairs played a round-robin format, and players were exhausted after six games, many of which lasted over an hour.
It became clear that the Hayes-Wilson and Charles Ostler-Ross Thomson combinations were the pairs to beat. They had both won five games when they met in the last round.
Hayes and Wilson played excellent, accurate croquet to win 7-3. Ostler and Thomson were runners-up and Per Elzen and Christine McCullough were third, with four wins.
Barb Humphreys from the Barry club competed in the Rotorua annual golf croquet singles tournament.
