The Range Croquet Club - Maleny

Ricochet players were out and about on Tuesday with a six-ball game continuing to be popular.

Dianne Horseman scored 9 hoops, as did Sarah Widin and Priscilla Vickers, with Stuart Craig and Sally Adams making a creditable 4 in their game.

Thursday was a busy day at home and away.

Lynette Evans and Sarah played in Nambour, again ricochet croquet, with a great result. They were matched up against Bill Habner and Theo Kleiberg, both for the Namcool team (a combination of Nambour and Coolum) but with both players, on this occasion from Nambour club. Sarah convincingly beat Theo 19 – 9 while Lynette lost to seasoned campaigner Bill Habner 12 – 17, a sterling result against such an experienced player.

At one game apiece the outcome of the rubber swung on the doubles game where Maleny delivered the goods winning 19 – 15 in a tight encounter. Well done all players. Congrats Maleny on a 2 – 1 win.

At home Helen Andrews and Wallace Roy teamed up to beat Carole Atkinson and Sally in a game of association doubles while on lawn 2 Chris Borlase and Vince Carbery made 23 hoops to finish of Nick Cram and Donna Manning who managed 7.

On Sunday Helen and Wallace teamed up again to beat Val Carbery and Stuart 11 – 4. Donna played a

lone hand against Vince and Nick and beat them 19 – 4; while Dianne beat Sarah 20 – 7.

Attached photo: Keith Williamson and Chris Borlase receiving the winner and runner up brooches in the recent Windsor Brooch competition.

Court Hire

Our courts may be available for community use or for special events, like workplace team-building or social gathering.

Our croquet equipment may be available for your guests in some special occasion (e.g. wedding) if suitable grounds are available. If you are interested, please phone, email or use the contact page.

Association Croquet

Association Croquet is a tactical game, usually between two players, consisting of running six hoops in order with two balls, clockwise first and then anti-clockwise, and finally hitting the central peg. It is played in a lawn measuring 35yards by 28 yards. The running of a hoop and hitting of the peg scores one point. The maximum score is, therefore, 26 points. Six hoops twice by two balls plus the pegging out.

Association Croquet is a challenging and intriguing sport requiring tactical ability, judgment and skill rather than strength and fast reflexes.

Give it a go!.

Play days

Association Croquet Thursday and Sunday 1.00 pm for 1.30.

Ricochet Croquet Tuesday morings 9 am. Contact Sarah Widin for other days.
