Congratulations to Mark Simmerson (2) from Sheffield Croquet Club who won the Tyneside AC Advanced Weekend by winning 5/6 games.

With an entry of only 4 this year it was decided and agreed that all play all twice over the two days using the Pavilion Lawn - double banking with a 2.5-hour time limit - which worked out very well. Only one game finished after time so well done to all players for expediting play.

Apart from a very short shower on the Sunday morning, the weather remained dry, no wind, warm and sunny.

Results:

Mark Simmerson (2) Sheffield CC) beat Phil Errington (1.5) +21 and +18, Stephen Pratt (6) +17 and +22, Dennis Scarr (-0.5) +16

Dennis Scarr (-0.5) Middlesbrough CC beat Stephen Pratt (6) +18 (24-6) and +22, Phil Errington (1.5) +22 and +12 and Mark Simmerson (2) +1

Phil Errington (1.5) Belsay Hall CC beat Stephen Pratt (6) +20 and +10

Stephen Pratt (6) Alnmouth CC lost all his games.

Phil Errington's Handicap changed from 1.5 to 2
