Kyneton Croquet Club

24/08/2026

The Kyneton RSL is a keen supporter of the Kyneton Croquet Club, the oldest croquet club in Australia established in 1866. To celebrate their 150th Anniversary, sponsors and supporters of the club were invited to a game of social croquet on Sunday, 23 August. Pictured are members of the Kyneton RSL with Pat Fahy of the Kyneton Croquet Club. The game was followed by a pleasant lunch in the club room. Croquet has become a regular feature on our RSL Active calendar so keep an eye out for a game this coming November.

Vale Ruth Gallpen.
We are sad to hear of Ruth’s passing. Ruth was a long term member of Kyneton Croquet Club, including serving for many years as our Club Captain and Handicapper. She also served as a regular volunteer at events, and as an unofficial coach to many - including teaching us her mastery of jump shots. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. Our thoughts are with Ian and family.

Kyneton Shoes is a proud sponsor of Kyneton Croquet Club. While gumboots may be the best option for playing croquet at the moment, you can pick up other bargains there too.

KCC hosted the third annual Central Victorian Club Challenge today. Six clubs from Northern Districts and Goldfields Regions competed in a round robin handicap GC doubles event. It was a very tight finish - going into the last round Maldon, Golden Square and Quarry Hill were all on three wins and only seperated by two nett hoops. Castlemaine, Kyneton and Bendigo all had a chance to ruin the day for another team. Castlemaine and Kyneton did exactly that to Maldon and Golden Square respectively - both with come from behind 7/6 wins. This meant Quarry Hill’s pair of Trevor Ware and Colin Scott claimed the title. It was some sweet revenge for Quarry Hill, who lost the Autumn Pennant final at KCC three days ago in a tiebreaker playoff to a combined Maldon/Golden Square team.
We look forward to Bendigo Club hosting next year’s Club Challenge on newly laid courts.
