Sports in Kenilworth

Kenilworth's first competitive croquet match in 18 months came last weekend as the club started their West Midlands Golf Croquet League season.

Kenilworth hosted Broadwas, last year's champions and hot favourites for this year.

The croquet lawns of Kenilworth have once again greeted players following the update in social restrictions.

As of yesterday (March 29) outdoor sporting activities are once again permitting, allowing Kenilworth Croquet Club to use the Crackley Lane lawns for the first time in 2021.

Kenilworth's top four croquet players played a round robin competing for the Association Croquet Club Championship this weekend.

There was some excellent croquet played at Crackley Lane this weekend, but the blustery day and tight hoops also led to mistakes aplenty.

This weekend Kenilworth Croquet Club hosted a new tournament for their newest members to get a taste of a competition.

During the summer, Kenilworth Croquet has seen a surge in interest, having been able to reopen their lawns soon after the lockdown.

The final of the Kenilworth Ladies Golf Croquet Handicap Final saw four ladies playing a round robin to decide this year's championship.

As expected, it was a close contest.

This weekend Kenilworth Croquet Club hosted the semi finals of the 2020 Wells Cup, the Kenilworth Gold Croquet Club Championship.

Mervyn Harvey and Adrian Morris made it through their respective semi finals, to set up an exciting final.

As lockdown measures ease across the country, outdoor sports have begun to return to our day-to-day lives.

Nowhere is this more true than for Kenilworth Croquet Club, whose members have been able to enjoy their sport once again.
