With the change to summer time the new season has now got under way.

Club nights on Thursday evenings at Carrickmines have started.

Newcastle CC is now back up and running on Thursday evenings until dark. Some of the younger players have been getting in some practise. Newcastle extends a warm welcome to visitors to come and play. Harry's and Nathaniel's lawns should be in good playable shape from this week.

The new site has been provisionally launched today. The old site may be reached at www.croquetireland.com/pre2007/.

The site should have all the links correctly constructed apart from a few pages on this site or on other sites referenced that have been removed.

Why were there just 13 entries - including two no-shows - for this attractive event.
Kiaran Murphy won, with 8 wins from 10 games. Danny Johnston completed his first triple peel (without bisques). Daniel Eismann (Dublin University) played in his first tournament.
There was an international presence in the form of Campbell Morrison. Ed Cunningham won the Sunday prize (Easter egg) and Simon Williams the Monday prize (whiskey). Kiaran's prize was a voucher for the Trentuno cafe.
Mary Dobbyn obtained the excellent cakes that we enjoyed at tea-time.
