See the Croquet England fixtures list for details and online entry.
The 2023 annual A class Tompkinson Shield took place on 19th/20th August.
Andrew Gregory reports: “Jack Good won the Tompkinson Shield at Edgbaston. A full complement of 14 chaps gathered for the Super-B (or Stars Barred) tournament at Edgbaston. At the end of Saturday 8 players had 50% or better, so a knock-out was decreed. The final had defending champion Clive Goode play the up-and-coming 17 year-old Jack Good. Good was too good for Goode. Jack also collected the gold award for his first triple peel. The other TP of the weekend was by Neil Adams.”
The competitors were Neil Adams, Martin Beacon, Gary Bennett, Ian Draper, Jack Good, Clive Goode, Andrew Gregory (our very able Manager), Charles Harding, Adrian Kirby, Gordon Mills, Mark Simmerson, Ian Slater, Nick Steiner and Jonathan Wolfe.
