Toowoomba croquet team beats Warwick by seven points

On Monday, May 5, a team of eight players from the Toowoomba Croquet Club met a team of local players on the Warwick croquet lawns, and the result was a win for the visiting club by seven points. The games were very even, and were all most interesting.

The visitors were entertained at luncheon at the Blue Bird Cafe, and in the absence of the president, Mrs. Grieve (vice-president), extended a welcome to the Toowoomba players, and spoke of the benefits derived from intertown matches, and of how much the Warwick club enjoyed the visits of the Toowoomba club. Mrs. Ransome (patroness), most suitably endorsed Mrs. Grieve's remarks, to which Mrs. Rowe (Toowoomba president) responded. Morning and afternoon tea was served on the lawns by the members.

The result of the play was as follows:—

Mesdames Smith and Morgetts (Warwick) 26

Mesdames Rowe and Fortescue (Toowoomba) 22

Mesdames Booth and Bridgman (Toowoomba) 26

Mesdames Searl and Lade (Warwick) 13

Mesdames Harvey and Dean (Warwick) 26

Mesdames Gaydon and Hodgson (Toowoomba) 23

Mesdames Godsall and Grigg (Toowoomba) 22

Mesdames Woods and Madgwick (Warwick) 21
