Herbert Park Croquet Club Croquet Notes 2010
The first match of the season was on May 8th against Carrickmines at Carrickmines. A slight disaster for HPCC who lost 8-1 but this was offset, to some extent, by a most substantial and enjoyable tea.
Lovely sunny weather with less than one hours drizzle all weekend. Nineteen players after a handful of withdrawals (including two English visitors who we hope can get their passports in order in time for next years tournament!). Nice afternoon teas thanks to the tennis brigade in Carrickmines and top quality lawns as per usual from Simon and Rocket.
All levels welcome.
Pay starts at 10.00am each day.
Play either or both days
Entry Fee €10 – Club members €5
