SWF 'B' League Semi-Final v Nailsea (South East)
Thu 6 Sep 2007 at Budleigh Salterton

Ups and Downs of the South West Federation 'B' League Croquet Semi-final.

After a prolonged journey, with the A30 blocked at Okehampton, Cornwall started well in the morning, winning the doubles and 1 out of the 2 single matches.

They fared less well in the afternoon, loosing 3 further singles.

It was left to Ron George to save face. In a cliff-hanger, watched by the other players, Ron caught up from being behind 8-12 to eventually win the game 14-12.

Final Score:  Nailsea 4    Cornwall 3

Everyone agreed it was a very enjoyable day with the fine weather being surpassed by the generous hospitality and superb facilities provided at the Budleigh Salterton Croquet Club.
