he final games of the AC Metropolitan Pennants were held at Stephens Croquet Club on Saturday. Winners were Windsor Croquet Club for 2026, with Runners Up being Stephens White, from Stephens Croquet Club.

A few spectators rocked up and witnessed some exciting play. The AC Pennants gives us all a chance to learn how to play with and against bisquing, and it can lead to some interesting results. It is also a great introduction for beginner players into competition under the guidance of a more experienced player.
