All four members of this year's South Canterbury
representative croquet team come from the same Oamaru club,
something the Awamoa Croquet Club believes is rare.
Brian Monckton, Ethel Johnston, Tom Weir and Simon Gannon
were selected from players at nine other clubs in South
Canterbury to represent the province against five other teams
in the South Island interprovincial event in Timaru this
weekend.
The team for the interprovincial event is usually made up of
the champions from the South Canterbury championship, and
Monckton is representing the A grade and Johnston the
intermediate.
A Canadian exchange student at Waitaki Boys High School,
Simon Gannon, won the C grade, but his handicap has come down
so he was selected to fill a B grade slot. Weir, C grade
runner-up at the South Canterbury championships, gained a C
grade slot.
