The Annual clash between the CAI and CA juniors was revived this year, having faltered last year due to a nasty bout of exams.

Ray Flood, long-standing member of Herbert Park club passed away on St Patrick’s Day.
His funeral was held on Friday 19th. March in Church of The Assumption, Booterstown Avenue.

Congratulations to Danny Johnston, Kieran Murphy, Conor Broderick and Ed Cunningham who all passed assistant referee exams last weekend. Simon should also be highly commended for running an excellent course.
Well done to both students and tutor. We’ll look forward to calling on these new referees for adjudication during the coming season.

Melbourne is a very long way to travel to play croquet but combining the trip with visits to Hong Kong, Sydney and Tokyo made the journey worthwhile. The event was played at the smart new Victorian Croquet Centre at Cairnlea, about half an hour’s drive from the city centre. Twelve good lawns and a purpose built, spacious clubhouse with kitchen, manager’s office, changing rooms with showers and lockers, internet access and a well stocked bar made it ideal for hosting a large event.
