The second leg of the Pennant and Plate croquet competitions were held on Monday 10 May.
These resulted in two wins for Noosa in both grades, but only just. Both teams were level on games and won on hoops.
The Pennant team was level on games with Bribie at Bribie Island, but won on a countback by five hoops.
John Dark was the standout here, winning both his singles games and also sharing a doubles win.
The Plate team playing at home at Noosa was two games down after the singles, but fought back to win both doubles and again get away with a four hoop advantage.
The Plate doubles team of Bob Eames and Sally Walker had a very tense finish to win by one hoop and clinch the overall win.
However, bragging rights go to the Pennant team in this situation by winning by one more hoop. The Shield team, for players with a medium handicap, also continues and the Noosa team travelled to Bribie Island on Monday 17 May.
On Sunday 4 May John Dark and Sheridan Stopps played in the Headland Cup – a Handicap doubles event and won.
They stopped the competition mid-afternoon due to the weather and averaged the wins. Well done John and Sheridan. John also performed well at a Bribie Island mid-handicap competition on Saturday 15 May – he is a busy player,
The Regional Golf Croquet Championships will be held during May.
These had to be delayed as they were originally set for that period of terrible weather during March. Noosa will host the Division 2 Championships at its courts in Noosa Waters on Saturday 22 May.
