World AC Championships – Euan and James through to knockout

World Association Croquet Championship

Many congratulations to James Death and Euan Burridge for success in the block play stage of the AC World Championship and getting places in the knockout stage.  Euan in particular has exceeded many people’s expectations with a fantastic debut performance, winning 6 games from 9 (including some top class scalps)  in the block stage, after having been through the qualifying event first. Best wishes to them both for continues success. Best wishes also to 5 other Nottingham members who will be eligible to compete for the Shield, Bowl and Plate events.
