Spectacular croquet expected over three days.

Carolyn from Whitby

Plimmerton Croquet Club will host the annual Croquet New Zealand Doubles Championship over three days, Saturday 18 – Monday 20 February.

Manager, Tom Berryman from Titahi Bay, says ‘this event will showcase the best croquet players in the country. It will be exciting to see the number of young players competing many of whom will go on to represent New Zealand. This is a great opportunity for interested people to view croquet of a high standard’.

Fourteen teams have entered with play commencing at 8:30 am and expected to conclude by 6:30 pm each day. All games are 3 hours and there are three rounds per day.

The singles events will be held at Paraparaumu and Waikanae Croquet Clubs from Tuesday 21- Saturday 25 February.

Plimmerton Croquet Club is located in Ulric Street, turn left into Ulric Street by the northern roundabout by Palmers Garden Centre and welcomes members of the public to view the games at any time over the three days.
