The Warrnambool Association Croquet Summer Tournament was played on 14th and 15th January 2026. It was disappointing that Division 1 and 2 had to be cancelled due to players withdrawing but Division 3 and 4 were well attended and enjoyed by all. We had windy weather, with only a little rain.
Division 3 had six competitors and congratulations to the winner, Karyn-Camille King from Williamstown with 4 wins 31 net hoops and Julie Love from Brighton runners up with 4 wins 2 net hoops. This was KK’s first tournament in Division 3 so it was a great result for her.
Division 4 had four competitors. Janelle Morris from Belmont won with 5 wins 33 net hoops and John Sambell from Warrnambool was runners up with 5 wins 25 net hoops.
We had 16 people on Wednesday night, attend the dinner at the City Bowls Club for a lovely meal and great conversation.
Well done to all players.
Thank you to all the helpers that assisted in the kitchen, setting up the courts and supplied delicious food and a huge thank you to Ian for being our referee.
