York Croquet Club's youngest player considers the next shot with a seasoned Scotland international player at the Yorkshire Tournament
We enter teams in the Yorkshire Federation leagues for both short lawn and full lawn Association Croquet. This pits York Croquet Club against teams from across Yorkshire, including Beverley & East Riding, Sheffield, Huddersfield. We also play in the East Pennine League and Croquet North, against Middlesborough and Tyneside.
Here is the schedule of league fixtures for 2024 - League_matches_2024.pdf
In recent years we have represented Yorkshire in the National Inter-Club Short Croquet Competition. From 2024 we will be entering the Longman Cup, a national AC tournament.
We are always keen to do justice to ourselves in regional games. Fortunately, the handicapping system means that members of different levels of ability, from members in their first year to seasoned players can and do represent York with an equal chance of success.
We host two regional and three national tournaments. At a Regional Level: the Yorkshire Federation Short Croquet Tournament held in spring; and the Yorkshire Federation Full Lawn tournament held over the first weekend in September. On the national stage, the Heart of Yorkshire Tournament held in June; the Yorkshire White Rose Advanced Tournament held in August; and the Viking Challenge held towards the end of the season. Those not competing are welcome to come and watch some exciting play. All five events are certainly competitive, but still relaxed and enjoyable occasions.
