(AC - Championships)
The Inter-counties Championship was completed today, Tuesday 29th May, with Nottinghamshire emerging as the winners, for the third consecutive year.
The competition is the biggest in the croquet calendar, with 22 counties competing. It is split between two venues - Sussex County Croquet Club in Southwick (near Brighton) and Compton Croquet Club, Eastbourne. The competition is divided into two divisions, with the top three teams in the second division being promoted and the last three in the top division being demoted at the end of the event. Each round consists of three games with doubles being played throughout, so there are a minimum of six players per team.
The teams taking part, together with results to date are shown below.
