The GVCA AC Champion of Champions was held over two days at Rich River Croquet Club. 13 Club Champions enjoyed sunny conditions and competitive croquet in a lovely, friendly environment.

In Division 1 Kenn Boal of Rich River and John Young of Mooroopna played two games. John played well, but Kenn played with his usual skill and won, pegging out in both games and earning the right to have his name added to the trophy once again.

Four players faced off in Division 2 – Ron Wrest of Mooroopna, John James of Deniliquin, Louise Vale of Numurkah and Ian Grant of Rich River. John was at the top of his game, winning all three games and pegging out twice. Runner up was Louise Vale of Numurkah with two wins.

Our two players in Division 3 were David Ryant of Rich River and John Alstin of Echuca Moama. David played an excellent game and pegged out in both games.

In Division 4 we had five players - Veronica Richardson of Mooroopna, Fred Littmann of Deniliquin, Cherie Lessing of Rich River, Margaret Gleeson of Shepparton and Greg Brierley of Echuca Moama. Veronica had well deserved success, winning all four games. Cherie wasn’t far behind on three wins.

Kenn, John, David and Veronica represented the GVCA at the Victorian Regionals in Geelong at the end of April. The results were a credit to the players: Kenn finished fourth, John was in third place, David was fifth and Veronica was third. These results were good enough to land the team in fourth place in the Teams Event.  Well done all!
