Kenilworth bring curtain down on West Midlands League croquet season

Kenilworth’s final Association Croquet match of the season, in the West Midlands League, was at home to Eardisley.

In the morning matches, Kenilworth’s top ranked player, Adrian Morris, took on the visiting captain, Tony Johnston, but an early tactical error by Morris, gave away a seven-hoop lead. The Eardisley player maintained this lead and eventually won 16-10.

The other games were wins for Kenilworth but by the slightest of margins. Cliff Daniel won his match 13-12 and Philip Wood 14-13.

In the afternoon matches Morris had an easier win by 26-10 and Wood won by 17-10.

The final game was close for much of the game but Daniel took some risky shots towards the end which didn’t come off giving the game to the in-form Johnston by 18-9.

This gave a win to Kenilworth four games to two.
