The over 50s tournament was hosted this year by Al Brown here at Colchester. It is usually a 3 day event but with only 6 entrants this year it was agreed the format to be that everyone was to play each other with games timed out between 2.5 to 3 hours. There were some very close games, many coming down to winning plus one or two.
The winner was Roger Bowman a member at St Albans and Watford. Playing from a handicap of 11, but on the day playing so well you would have thought him in single figures, won 4 of his 5 games.
The trophy has yet to be located so Roger was awarded a CCC mug by the manager, Al Brown.
We hope to see more entrants next year. If you’re interested in playing please visit the Croquet Association fixtures calendar.
