CAQ Golf Croquet Eights tournament at Stephens Croquet Club, last weekend.

First Eight

Our very own Sidney Bates won 10 matches. Well done, Sid! Runner-up was Gordon Giles from Wynnum Croquet Club.

Second Eight

Winner was Casey DeVene from Eildon Croquet Club, with Jenee Molyneux from Bribie Island Croquet Club as runner-up.

A big thank you to all our volunteers over the weekend. We hosted a very successful event, and this is because of the level of support provided. Your contribution is invaluable.

Raffle: winning was a family affair, with Peter DeVene taking home the prize.
