Lawns rest at Easter; pennant win over Pittsworth

There was no play on the Toowoomba Croquet Club lawns on Easter Saturday as the greenkeepers decided it would be beneficial to the lawns to rest them for a few days. With the water restrictions now lifted, the greenkeeper and the honorary greenkeeper (Mr. George Fogarty) are both very enthusiastic and are out to give members first class lawns. The club had the pleasure of entertaining a team from Pittsworth on Tuesday last in connection with the Downs pennants. A representative team from the club also visited the Pittsworth ladies on their lawn and had a most enjoyable day. The croquet played was of first class standard. The Toowoomba club beat Pittsworth by 18 points. On Tuesday next the Toowoomba Club will meet the Warwick team and a party from Toowoomba will journey to Warwick. There was a good roll up of members on Wednesday. Play resulted:

Mesdames Kingsford, Lamb .. .. .. 26

Mesdames Wensley, Brodie .. .. .. 18

Mesdames Dines, Graham .. .. 17
