Graceville Croquet Club congratulates Bob Ketcheson. Bob wins the Graceville Challenge Cup in a runaway win.

Bob played all four games, recording wins and leading from start to finish, without opting to take bonus points on offer. Bob was made a life member of our club in 2019 and he was the instigator of Golf Croquet at Graceville. His name appears several times on our Club Honours board.

We don't see Bob as much as we used to, but as Randall White, our events organiser, so eloquently put it, "Class is permanent - form is temporary." Congratulations Bob.

Congratulations also to Lionel (2nd place) and Bron G (3rd).

Thank you to Laurie Webb, who donated the cup, and to Focus Optometrists for sponsoring the event.

A great day of sport and camaraderie.
