Result
Winner : Chris Martin (hcp -1) (6/6)
Runner up : Stefan Colling (hcp 0.5) (4/5)
Report: The dry conditions prevailing this summer meant the courts were unusually challenging for late September and almost half the games went to time. Four games were pegged down after the first day with five unbeaten players. By 3pm on Sunday this had been reduced to 2 leaving an effective final. The previous day had seen a traditional Surbiton v Edinburgh fixture and several of the Scottish players took the opportunity for more play. The final was between Chris Martin and Stefan Colling - two of them. A period of moderate drizzle on Sunday afternoon meant conditions had eased with the less grassy areas becoming more grippy. Chris won by 9.
The Andy spreadsheet for flexible Swiss again proved effective with a little fine control to ensure a final . The results were transcribed to croquetscores.
The cooks' contribution was again appreciated.
