Another enjoyable days croquet, the atmosphere was tense, the weather hot and humid - A special mention goes to Alan who won all his single games
Even though the score suggests an easy victory to Chester the CYD team fought them hard all the way

On this CYD's last match of the Snowdonia Cup, it turned out to be bright and dry day, contrary to the weather forecast.
A closely fought but enjoyable day of croquet, with our neighbouring club.
Our player of the day goes to Linda, who won all her matches.
(Also a very Happy Birthday to Alan)
