Golf Croquet Interclub Competition - Week 9
The penultimate week of this competition was
not without surprises with a big win to bottom
of the table, Marton, beating Levin 7-1. Secondplaced Feilding had a 6-2 victory over leaders,
Rose Gardens, to put them just in reach of top
spot. Wanganui had a tight win over Tararua.
Rose Gardens has a three point buffer over
Feilding and a vastly superior net hoop count,
leaving Feilding to score five more points than
Rose Gardens in the next round, if they are to
win. With a maximum of eight points available
per game, a five point score by Rose Gardens
would be enough to see them finish top,
whatever Feilding's result.

Week 1
This new event was run under an experimental
handicap system that reduced the handicaps of
top players, in two cases from 3 to 2 and in one
case from 0 to -4. This can have an impact on
time limited games,
It was a nice mild evening for for the first week
of the Autumn competitions, with 32 teams of
four players, almost 100 players, participating in
three events over the course of the evening.

next week, if they, or any other club, are to catch
the current leaders.

A 6-2 win by Feilding over Wanganui was
insufficient for them to pip Rose Gardens for
this season's Championship, as a 4-4 draw with
Levin by Rose Gardens left them one point
ahead of Feilding. It was just as tight for the
other cl ubs in the Championship with three
points covering the four of them.
