An intrepid team of four, David Russell, John Effingham, Chris Fuller and Peter Raper enjoyed the wilds of deepest West Sussex, near Ducton and played in a very friendly, friendly against our adversaries at the lovely Rother Valley ground.
Following nine matches of doubles and singles. the C&FCC team narrowly lost four games to five. Will, Sarah, Robin and John of the Rother Valley team getting the better of us
The friendliness continued in their clubhouse with a gorgeous tea organised by Will and Sarah, the generous helpings of smoked salmon, ham and mustard and egg and cress sandwiches chased down with tea and coffee ended a fun-filled afternoon, as we “waddled” back to our cars for the journey home.
On Tuesday 18 June, the friendship continued at home when the team hosted Rother Valley in the SE Croquet League, Chichester winning a closed matched series of games.
