The East Anglian Golf Croquet league is divided into four areas, the Northern,
Eastern, Central
and Western areas, and the clubs in each
area played in an all-play-all block over the course of the season. The results
of the matches in each block can be found by following the corresponding links.
The four area winners then proceeded to a knock-out stage for the semi-finals
and finals to determine the overall winner.
SEMI FINALS
Saturday morning 22nd September 2007 saw the EACF Golf League Semi-Final held
on the lawns of Newport Croquet Club between
Downham Market (winners of the Northern
area) and Enfield (winners of the Eastern
area). A perfect morning for weather with each team, consisting of four
players, playing a total of 18 games - 16 singles and 2 doubles matches. The day
culminated in a win for Enfield 14 points to 4.
| Team Players were: |
Downham Market |

The afternoon semi-final, arranged between the Western
area winners, Watford, and Central
area winners, Sudbury, was not played due to Sudbury withdrawing from the
competition at the last moment leaving Watford to become the winner.
FINALS
Sunday’s Final was played between Watford and Enfield. The format was as
for the semi-final. Watford defeated Enfield 10 points to 8. Again the weather
was with us.
