The Sawtell Croquet Club has been wrapping up its club championships, as the year draws to a close.

The Club’s Association Doubles Handicap Championship was held over several weeks, with Derek Burrows and Gary Urquhart leading from the start, thanks to their consistent tactics and teamwork.

Kay Munro and Brenda Burrows finished as runners-up.

The Ricochet Doubles Championship took place following the Association Croquet event.

Graeme Marshall and Graeme King claimed victory.

Their teamwork and persistence with the mallet secured a narrow win, edging out the runners- up, Kay Munro and Bill Lidster, by just one point.

Next, the Doubles Golf Croquet Club Championships were held on reconditioned courts.

The sharp coordination of Gary Urquhart and Wendy Forbes shone through when it mattered most, earning them the Division 1 Doubles Championship trophy, with runners up Gaylene Humphries and Jenny Arnold.

Division 2 winners were Maree Grant and Michael Nealand on a countback from Bill Lidster and Bruce Hamilton.
