Enfield Croquet Club
Welcome to Enfield Croquet Club
FREE INTRODUCTION TO CROQUET
Every Tuesday and Saturday morning starting 5th April 2022 (weather permitting)
Croquet is fun, competitive, social and everyone can play on an equal level regardless of sex or age. It’s a game of strategic thinking, skill and eye-to-ball contact and focuses on four balls, six hoops and a mallet. It has been described a bit like snooker on grass and is great for day-to-day health and well-being.
All equipment is provided and our friendly members look forward to passing on their skills, experience and love of the game. Flat shoes or trainers are the only requirement.
For more details, please contact Marian Cuckson on 07982 259789 or email: secretary@enfieldcroquet.org
Please do click on this link to learn a little more about the game. The two films further below also provide a useful overview of the game - and how we are able to play safely and socially-distanced.

Enfield Takes On Wrest Park
On Friday, 3rd September, Enfield played Wrest Park in a match which would decide who would win the Central & West area league and play Chelmsford in this year's GC B Level final at Watford on Sunday, 19th September.
Our team of David Barnicoat, Kim, Thomas & Ian got off to a good start by winning both their doubles matches. The first round of singles finished 2-2 with Kim and Ian winning their games. In the second singles round Thomas, Kim and David all won. Things improved even further in the next round when a clean sweep for Enfield gave the home team an unassailable lead. Only Thomas won in the final singles round but with the match won the team were entitled to relax a little.
WI Field Dames Take To The Lawns
We were delighted to welcome 12 members from the Field Dames group of the WI on the evening of Monday, 16th August 2021. Under the watchful and informative coach, Brian Dawes, the ladies were shown the fundalmentals of the croquet game and after some useful exercises, soon embarked on their first game. An enjoyable time was had from participants and members who assisted and we very much hope that we may see some, if not all of them again on the lawns in the not too distant future.
EACF GC Handicap - Enfield East v Stony Stratford
Enfield East welcomed the lovely team from Stony Stratford on 2nd August for the match which we won 13-5. This means that whilst we are now top of the league we cannot be complacent and there is everything to play for at our next match on 13th August against Leighton Linslade.
