STANDING up for traditional croquet, 12 players from throughout Victoria and beyond met at Boort last weekend for the club’s annual association croquet singles tournament.
Golf croquet, a quicker and simpler form of the sport, is beginning to overshadow the original style of the game.
Both forms are played at Boort, and the dozen who gathered in cool and windy conditions beside the lake were committed to keeping alive the association game.
Players came from Melbourne, Colac, Bendigo, Kyneton, Howlong and Boort, with Fred Littmann making the trek from Deniliquin in New South Wales.
The event was run in two groups, with Bendigo’s Phil DeAraugo winning group one ahead of Kerry Cullen from Colac.
Group two was won by Kyneton’s Damien Hadfield, with interstate visitor Littmann finishing as runner-up.
