What started out as cold weather turned into a perfect day to play a series of four friendly croquet matches on six rinks. Everyone got off to a good start on these 45 minute timed events. They kept their own individual scores and at the end of four games we were able to determine the top four players.
The top four players had semi-final and final matches to determine the first second and third place winners for the tournament. Brent Jansen won the tournament with second place going to Gordie March and third place to Pierre Dunn. They all received cash prizes.
We all stopped for refreshments after the playoffs with a $50 draw, two special draws from Pharmasave, and a 50-50 draw by Brent Merchant. The kitchen staff did a wonderful job providing coffee, tea, cookies, fruit and, for after lunch, a cake donated by Angela. The tournament was such a success that we hope to repeat this every year.
