Nottingham, UK.36 women players from 12 nations are in Nottingham competing for the title of World Croquet Champion. All the top seeds are through from three days’ play in the blocks to the Knock-Out stage which starts on Wednesday 29 July. There were few surprises in the Block Stages of the Women’s World Croquet Championship at Nottingham (writes David Brydon). At the end of three days, top seed and current champion Jenny Clarke (NZ) won Block A with 8/8 hardly seeming to break sweat, as did Alison Sharpe (Aus) the other finalist in 2012 in Block B. Gabrielle Higgins (Eng) won her block with just one loss. The Diocesan Secretary at Chichester will be seeded fourth in the Knock-Out. Miranda Chapman (Eng) was unbeaten at the top of the other block, playing tight precision croquet including a couple of triple peels. Chapman’s day job is prosthetist in Nottingham and Derby hospitals, but she was handing out no favours to her opponents. Rachel Rowe, a former women’s world champion in the other code of Golf Croquet, was a comfortable runner-up in Chapman’s block, losing only to Chapman and to one of the qualifiers Rosemary Newsham (Aus) in an exciting nail-biter 25-26.
