BLOG POST 8. It was just over a week when Graham Goosen, Anton Prak and Jeremy O’Regan packed their clobber & mallets, heading 900 kilometers up the N2 to Port Alfred to play in a tournament – The Port Alfred Classic. A tournament made up of some seriously polished malleteers (54 players to be exact) from around the country. With a total of 19 hard fought games each every day, the boys from Greyton represented their club in true fashion. Each of the games were played with tremendous spirit, friends made and almost no mallets broken. A couple of long shots, jump shots, stop shots and even rather large divots, and maybe just a couple of donuts. There were a number of penalties and plenty of on and off the field banter. Unbelievable catering and copious amounts of beer, wine and gin & tonics, teas, coffees and loads of morning and afternoon snacks. GCCC would like to thank Trevor & Glynn & all the other Port Alfred Croquet Club Members for making the week so special. Now for some really great news – Anton and Jeremy got into the Quarter Finals on Saturday finishing on a 7-4 loss, but what made the week even more special is that our very own Graham Goosen (Captain of the GCCC) came away with an emphatic win. By winning the Level Singles Graham was up against Richard Prosser who plays for Kelvin Grove, with a handicap of a minus 3 and Grahams 1. Today we lift our mallets in honour.

We salute a jolly good player and a well done to Graham not forgetting Anton and Jeremy. This win is extremely good news for the GCCC.

The GCCC trophy cabinet has only just begun.
