Broadwas Croquet Club has finished the external tournament season in style by winning the West Midlands Federation’s Golf Croquet Team Tournament, The Robertshaw Cup.
Played at Stoney Ley on a gloriously sunny day, the tournament was fought between the top four clubs competing in the West Midlands Golf Croquet league in 2022. The final had to be postponed from May, due to the exceptionally wet weather at the start of the season.
Played by three player teams, Broadwas entertained the visitors from Himley, Eardisley and Kenilworth. The Broadwas team was comprised of captain Stuart Smith, Fran Wall and Jon Carrington. The tournament was organised by Club Captain John Guy.
In the first round of the tournament, Broadwas beat Kenilworth by four games to two and in the second round beat Himley narrowly by the number of hoops scored in the game after a 3-3 draw. Broadwas scored 23 points against Himley’s 19. In the third round, Broadwas beat Eardisley 5-1.
Runners-up to Broadwas with four tournament points were Himley, followed by Eardisley, who narrowly pipped Kenilworth to third place.
