Golf Croquet Interclub Semi-final Surbiton v Dulwich

Don Beck writes:

The match was played at Dulwich on Thursday 7th August. A weekday was chosen as weekends in August are congested but this did lead to both teams being weakened.
The day was interrupted with short sharp spells of heavy rain and this certainly affected the doubles. Don and Stephen were a game and 3-0 up when the rain came. They then only won 6 of the next 20 points!!

Results (Surbiton first):

Stephen Mulliner and Don Beck lost 7-3, 5-7, 4-7 Pierre Beaudry and Ed Dymock

Dick Knapp won 7-5, 7-6 Simon Whitely
Mary Knapp won 7-2, 6-7, 7-3 Julian Stair

Pause for excellent lunch and another rain shower

Stephen won 7-4, 7-4 Pierre
Don won 7-1 7-3 Ed
Dick won 7-3, 7-6 Julian
Mary won 7-5, 7-2 Simon

Result Dulwich 1-6 Surbiton
