West Toowoomba players do well at the interstate croquet tournament

A report about the West Toowoomba Croquet Club states that members feel proud of the success attained by some of its members in the interstate croquet tournament held in Brisbane. Most of the country clubs sent representatives, who came from as far north as Mackay, while two came from Victoria. The representation of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club were successful in winning six events. This is regarded as a very creditable performance.

Miss May Crowther was the outstanding competitor for West Toowoomba, losing only two points in the whole tournament. Miss Fryar played in the final of the gold brooch event. The C Grade nominee (Mrs. Padget) played well, reaching the quarter-finals before being eliminated.
