Scottish Croquet Association 
17-19 September, Meadows
When the hawthorn berries have turned red, the brambles have been picked and jammed, and the skies are starting to speckle again with the return of wintering geese, it’s time for the SCA Chairman's and Malmet competitions, the invitation events for the top six available SCA players, and the next top six.

Due to considerable fox damage on the croquet lawn, and potential for similar damage on the bowling green, a full tournament was not possible. However, four people played a one-day all-play-all tournament with the usual 18-point format (both clips starting on hoop 1). Bill Strachan had moved the hoop holes to avoid the damaged areas being a problem near the hoops, and there appeared to be no significant impact on the play.

Saturday dawned fair with the forecast of a difficult contest ahead as, on paper, the CA team was much stronger.
The first cunning ploy of the English was to get members of our team involved in the setting of hoops. The ground was incredibly firm and strongly resistant to accepting hoops and much sweat and frustration was expended in trying to achieve firmness. Whether this contributed to our poor start is debatable but we lost the opening set of three doubles which, unfortunately, set the scene for the rest of the weekend. I think, also, that we behaved too much like the perfect guests, allowing our hosts to relax as we dragged defeat from the jaws of 'certain' victory on far too many occasions. Our cause was not helped either by Rosemary feeling rather poorly all weekend (tested positive for Covid on return).
