Lilydale Croquet Club celebrate a successful season



On Monday 26 May, South East Metro Croquet Competition held their presentation day for the Autumn season.

Although it was a cold start to the day there was a very good turnout of players from all six competing clubs, Mornington, Sandringham, Monash, Ringwood, Lilydale and Kew.

The morning was spent playing social games of croquet followed by a magnificent lunch put on by the organising committee and then followed the all-important, presentations to the winners and runners-up.

The winners and runners-up were

Division One – first Ringwood, second Kew

Division Two – first Lilydale, second Monash

Handicap – first Sandringham, second Lilydale

Congratulations to these teams and well done to all the clubs that took part in the Autumn competition.

Lilydale had a very good season finishing first in Division Two, second in the handicap and third in Division One.

A special thank you to the organising committee for putting on another well-organised and smoothly run competition. All the clubs can now get in plenty of practice over Winter and be ready for the Spring season.
