Given the strength of the Bristol team this was expected to be a very tough game. Swindon started strongly and romped to a 8 - 0 lead after three rounds (two doubles and a singles) with the 12 afternoon singles ending up all square.

Stand in captain Tony Mayer said “The Swindon team played exceptionally well which surprised our opponents who, on paper, expected to win. It was a superb team effort.

"This is a game of strategy and skill you wish you’d started to play earlier! Please get in touch if you’d like to find out more or give croquet a try."
