NSW has again triumphed in the Golf Croquet Interstate Shield remaining undefeated against all other States. NSW has now won the Interstate Shield 3 times in a row indicating the depth of talent available for selection in NSW.
Victoria and Queensland were the hot favourites but NSW proved to be the most consistent and motivated team comfortably defeating both favourites. The toughest match for NSW was on the final day against WA where all singles players had to dig deep to hang onto a narrow lead (4-2).
That was good enough to win the test and the competition. Congratulations to team members Christine Pont, Martyn Prins, Ros and Ron Johnstone, Mike Jenner, Pam Gentle (Captain), John Levick, Barb Piggott and Jumpin' Joe Dimech. A special mention of the strong showings of Martyn, Barb and Joe making their first appearance in the interstate competition.
