Croquet
Kerikeri Croquet Club hosted its first All Day tournament for the season, playing both croquet codes on Friday, October 11 with players from Kaitaia, Doubtless Bay, Waipū, Kensington and Maungakaramea in attendance.
The weather forecast was for rain over Northland but the organisers decided to go ahead, quoting the All Blacks boss, saying "what will be, will be".
The day was played in very pleasant conditions up until the last final 15 minutes of play, when it decided to rain. Being great stalwarts of the game, everyone continued on until the bell rang.
