The Range Croquet Club - Maleny

This past week has been eventful for our club with the addition of a Tuesday Ricochet play day and with our Lochwood team playing away at Coolum in their pennants match on 10th May.

Our inaugural Ricochet play day on Tuesday 9th May was greatly enjoyed by the four players who took part. Two singles matches were played. Dianne Horsman played Helen Uhlmann in a friendly game that involved a lot of coaching, with many “do-overs” as Helen worked hard to learn the game.

This was mirrored in the other game when Sarah Widin worked with Sally Adams to come up to speed with this different croquet game. Both Sally and Helen greatly appreciated the helpful advice and guidance and we’re all looking forward to others joining in this week as word gets out about this new opportunity.

As mentioned, our Lochwood team played Coolum on Wednesday when Ken Barker and Sarah Widin took on Colin Harris and Lance Turner. This rubber was won by Coolum 2:1. Ken played a blinder of a singles match to beat Colin 18:9 while Sarah went down to Lance 12:26 in the other

Although Sarah and Ken played a great doubles game, Lance and Colin pulled off a win to end with 14 hoops to 13. Well played everyone and congratulations to Coolum on their

Thursday 11th and Sunday 14th were our regular Association Croquet club play days. Thursday saw two singles and a doubles match played. We were
