17 May - Ward comes third The Phyllis Court National C-Level (7+) Sereis tournament
Kevin Ward was the pick of the Phyllis Court players at the Club's hosted tournament in the national C-Level (7+) Series competition on Monday.
Despite getting a late call up from the reserves list, Ward showed no sign of nerves at this, his first non-internal tournament, and finished in an excellent third place, earning four Series points and an initial place on the national rankings, which will aid any other entry applications for other C-level Series tournament around the country.
Ward was only one win behind the tournament winner, Naomi Whitehead from Cheltenham, who finished on five wins ahead of four players. that included Phyllis Court's Tony Peperell, all tied on four, in a close tournament that was punctuated by frequent rain showers.
- Our Bowdry machine saves the day again - what a good purcahse!
Like the AC event a few days earlier, the event was only able to take place thanks to the timely arrival of the Croquet Club's new Bowdry water removal machine, which has proved to be wise investment already.
The manually propelled Bowdry has a large sponge covered roller which soaks up standing water which is then squeezed in to a collection vessel with a mangle roller. It is marvellously efficient and, as demonstrated twice already, enables tournaments and team matches to be kept on the road rather than facing cancellation.
