The Griffins played against Chester in the Croquet North West 26pt Handicap League on Sunday 14th July. Before the match Griffins had won 1 and lost 2 matches and were tied at the bottom of the league with 4 other teams which have just one win. Chester were one of those teams, so the win takes Griffins up to 4th.
Griffins fielded a strong team which was:
In the morning:
Andy (11) beat David Guyton (4.5) 26-9.
Ed (11) beat Sally Slater (14) 26-11.
Liz (12) & Adrian (2.5) beat Mark Lloyd (0.5) & Robin Tasker (4.5) 17-15 on time.
In the afternoon:
Adrian beat Mark 26-3; Andy beat Robin 26-3; Ed beat David 26-0.
Liz and Sally’s game was abandoned since the other games had already finished and they were drawing and still had over an hour on the clock. So they decided since it didn’t affect the match outcome they would get back ome early to watch other sports.
