On 24th August eight of Broadwas Croquet Club’s more mature members competed for the Veterans Cup. The quality of play overall was to a very high standard and whilst every game was closely contested, the atmosphere was always positive and friendly with courtesy and encouragement being the order of the day.
The winners of the two blocks of four were the husband and wife team of David Holt and Eileen Holt who then competed in a single game final with Eileen running out the Winner 7 – 4. In the play-off for third place, Janet Barber beat Barry Kirby 7 – 6.
The competition was organised and carried through impeccably by Club Members, Janet Bedford and Josie Watson who were warmly thanked by all those who had taken part. BCC’s President, John Steel spoke for everyone who had participated when he expressed the view that The Vets is one of the nicest and most agreeable tournaments of the season.
