Carrickmines Croquet

Carrickmines Croquet Welcome to Carrickmines Croquet!

It is a little-known fact that croquet was invented in Ireland in the 1830's and so Carrickmines is privileged to be the worldwide 'home of Croquet'. We have four top-class lawns and a very active group of players of all ages keeping the tradition going strong, from beginners to the current World Champion. Each year the Club stages the Irish Championships and Co.Dublin Championships, as well as ho

sting various International matches (Ireland against USA, Australia, South Africa, Great Britain and lots of European countries). Both versions of the rules are played here: the technically-challenging, strategic Association Croquet and the fast-paced, hard-hitting, tactical Golf Croquet. The main season runs from April - October with lots of keenly-contested competitions, but we practise and enjoy friendly games throughout the year. We invite all members to pick up a mallet and join us at any time, especially at weekends and Wednesday Club Nights when coaching is provided.

Congratulations to club member Andrew Johnston who reached the semi-final of the World Championships in London last week. Eighty elite players from all over the world competed and in the knockout phase Andrew eliminated James Hopgood, David Maugham and five-time World Champion Robert Fulford.

The final was won by Australia's Robert Fletcher (the youngest ever winner having just turned 20) who remarkably did not drop a single game throughout the entire event.

Robert will be visiting Carrickmines on Saturday 24th August with his father David, brother Malcolm and the trophy. To celebrate his and Andrew's achievements an exhibition match, golf croquet challenge and BBQ will take place that afternoon.
