Wynnum newcomers shine at Ipswich Cup

Ipswich Cup

Players with handicaps of 8 and above were invited to enter the GC Ipswich Cup competition held at Ipswich Croquet Club on Sunday 10th March 2024. Wynnum Club was well represented by four recently joined members: Lorraine and Barry Beattie, and Lynelle and Noel Johnson.

The weather was perfect, and the courts were much slower than our players were used to playing on.

All four of our members were playing in their very first tournament, which was very daunting, but after a slow, nervous start they played some good croquet and all acquitted themselves well.

At the end of the day, Lorraine and Barry remained undefeated to win the Ipswich Cup. Noel and Lynelle won three of their six games – 50% is always a good average. Well done!

This is the second year that Wynnum has taken out this trophy. Next year, maybe the treble!

Congratulations to Lorraine and Barry, what a great achievement.
