Sunday 21 July Centenary Cup at Littlehampton

Top honours were taken by Chichester and Fishbourne Croquet Club teams when they took part in this year’s Littlehampton Centenary Cup.

The club entered two teams, unimaginatively named Fishbourne and Chichester, in the golf croquet tournament which has been running for 15 years.

Fishbourne won for the third year running.

 However, it was a close-fought competition. Three teams were tied on eight wins each.

Fishbourne’s players – Tony Elkin, Tony Hicks, Keith Burt and Mike Pudney – won on hoops scored, followed by Chichester – David Russell, John Effingham, Sally Short and Martin Emmett. Third was Chiltington Croquet Club.

 The event was opened by the Mayor of Littlehampton Sean Lee, and the cup was presented by the Littlehampton club President.

What a double result!
