After some hard-fought games Bob Chambers was declared the Champion of Division 1.

Runner up in a 3-way tie was Wendy Forbes.

Bruce Hamilton was the Champion in Division 2 with Maree Grant runner-up.

Last week the hotly-contested Association Croquet Championships were played over 3 days.

Winning all her games Kay Munro was declared the Association Croquet Club Champion.

In a 5-way tie the successful runner up was Carol Cate.

Congratulations to all those who participated in play during the championships and made it such a success.
