The Elton Cup golf croquet tournament is held annually at Elton Farm and is hosted by Peter and Cilla Radley.

The Radleys are ex-Swindon Croquet Club (SCC) members who use the tournament to keep in touch with current members and friends from the Swindon area.

This year's knock out competition - played Sunday 22 August - attracted around 20 players.

John Airey SCC secretary and tournament organiser, said: "With wonderful weather and great company it was brilliant to play croquet again at Elton Farm."

In the Gloucestershire sunshine, Di Trott and Bill Marner were the winners, beating Jan Booth and host Peter Radley 7-4 in the final.
