At Southport Croquet Club on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June, the annual MSOB Ricochet Competition was held. It was a very good spread of players from South-East Queensland and from the Newcastle area in NSW.

The players in each of the two blocks played a round robin. Then the final was held on Sunday afternoon.

Congratulations to Ruth Mulvaney, who won the event this year as well as last year!
