Golf Croquet
EACF Western Area
Fixtures contact: Geoff Johnson
This years' Open League
within the EACF Region will provisionally adopt the fixtures that would have been played last year if they had
not been cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been split into two areas to make travel more manageable, with each area containing 4
clubs who play each other twice, once at home and once away. There are no handicap
restrictions, and the match format has also been revised this year to include 2 doubles and 4 singles games for
each player (match total: 20 games).
In 2019 Watford were third in the Area.

Walk-over conceded by [no club] The Eastern Area played too few games for any winner to be determined, so Watford won the final. |
