Good morning world! We are sitting in the glorious sunshine at the fabulous Surbiton croquet club watching the semi-finals of the Championship of Surrey.

02 Aug 2020 10:26AM (Tournament); 1 Readers

Lets start with lawn 2, Samir and the hoop setting team are just resetting hoop 5 as Burch has just jammed... Burch is R&Y, Avery is B&B

02 Aug 2020 10:27AM (Tournament); 1 Readers

Sorry, I meant hoop 6. Good start.

02 Aug 2020 10:28AM (Tournament); 1 Readers

Burch is part way through a TPO on Black, Blue and Yellow are still both for 1, and Red was the jammed ball in 6.

02 Aug 2020 10:28AM (Tournament); 1 Readers

Moving to Lawn 1, Giraud is now in break having just made hoop 1 with black. All other clips for hoop 1.

02 Aug 2020 10:29AM (Tournament); 1 Readers

Lawn 2, hoop 6 has been reset, Burch re-played the shot and made hoop 6 with red. Peeling black through penult... it's in the middle of the hoop.

02 Aug 2020 10:31AM (Tournament); 1 Readers

Lawn 1: Giraud is for h4, but the break has broken... no rush to h4. A leave is coming up. Blue is 4y north of h5, yellow has been left east of h2 with a take off to red near c4.

02 Aug 2020 10:36AM (Tournament); 1 Readers

Giraud takes off from red to in front of h4, he's going to try from 3 yards

02 Aug 2020 10:36AM (Tournament); 1 Readers

Easy, he has made hoop 4, break continues.

02 Aug 2020 10:36AM (Tournament); 1 Readers

Lawn 2: Burch has completed the TPO and pegged two off, leaving blue and yellow for 1 & 1.... exciting times.

02 Aug 2020 10:44AM (Tournament); 4 Readers

Avery (playing Blue) took contact with yellow on east boundary near c4, rolled to h1, had a bash but failed the hoop. Unfortunately, failing to a wired position from yellow.

02 Aug 2020 10:46AM (Tournament); 3 Readers

Burch takes the lift and has hit blue to west boundary, rolled to h1...

02 Aug 2020 10:46AM (Tournament); 3 Readers

3 yard shot at h1, straight...

02 Aug 2020 10:46AM (Tournament); 4 Readers

Makes the hoop, but backward rush on blue. Rolling to h2 from 18 yards south.

02 Aug 2020 10:47AM (Tournament); 4 Readers

Burch is in front, about 5 yards away though

02 Aug 2020 10:47AM (Tournament); 4 Readers

Bang.

02 Aug 2020 10:47AM (Tournament); 4 Readers

Burch bounces out of h2 to the right, unfortunately giving Blue a 'rush' to h1. For me it's a 3 yard hit in.

02 Aug 2020 10:48AM (Tournament); 7 Readers

It didn't exactly 'rush'. Avery is now taking croquet from yellow from west boundary 6 yards north of h1. Yuck.

02 Aug 2020 10:48AM (Tournament); 7 Readers

Didn't reach. Yellow is now 12 yards north of h1, slightly toward the west boundary, blue is taking position at h1... not wired this time though ;)

02 Aug 2020 10:49AM (Tournament); 5 Readers

Burch plays yellow to the middle of the lawn somewhere between the peg and hoop 3

02 Aug 2020 10:51AM (Tournament); 5 Readers

Avery runs h1 to just north and three yards east of h2.

02 Aug 2020 10:51AM (Tournament); 7 Readers

He's wandering around having a think...

02 Aug 2020 10:51AM (Tournament); 7 Readers

Lawn 1: Giraud has gone to 4b with black, leaving a standard contact leave, blue in c2, r&y in c4, black in c3

02 Aug 2020 10:52AM (Tournament); 8 Readers

Lawn 2: Avery took tight position at h2, Burch shot and missed.

02 Aug 2020 10:52AM (Tournament); 7 Readers

Avery runs h2 to the north boundary, looking at yellow on west boundary... declines the shot.

02 Aug 2020 10:53AM (Tournament); 8 Readers

Takes position at h3, but it's not straight.

02 Aug 2020 10:53AM (Tournament); 8 Readers

Burch takes position at h2, Avery takes better position at h3< Burch runs h2 to the north boundary

02 Aug 2020 10:54AM (Tournament); 8 Readers

Burch now shooting at blue

02 Aug 2020 10:54AM (Tournament); 8 Readers

Burch misses to east boundary, blue (Avery) runs h3 and takes position.

02 Aug 2020 10:55AM (Tournament); 6 Readers

Burch takes good position at h3.

02 Aug 2020 10:55AM (Tournament); 5 Readers

Avery runs h4... and stops to think...

02 Aug 2020 10:55AM (Tournament); 6 Readers

Avery inspects the different options behind hoop 5, Burch has really good position at 3 so will run easily down to get a good shot on Blue if it's anywhere nearby.

02 Aug 2020 10:56AM (Tournament); 6 Readers

Avery takes position at 5, runable but 3 yards with angle. As far away as possible from Yellow.

02 Aug 2020 10:57AM (Tournament); 6 Readers

Burch runs h4, but not far, takes the 20+ yarder at blue... hits.

02 Aug 2020 10:57AM (Tournament); 6 Readers

Lawn 1: Fulford has rolled black from c3 to c1, ignoring blue, is not rolling red just north of c4 to set a leave.

02 Aug 2020 10:58AM (Tournament); 6 Readers

Lawn 2: Burch rolled from south of 5 to h4, bounced out of h4. Avery has easy start again.

02 Aug 2020 10:59AM (Tournament); 6 Readers

Avery rolls to h5, runs h5.... is rolling to h6 from peg high

02 Aug 2020 10:59AM (Tournament); 6 Readers

Avery has now made 2b, no rush to 3b, so rolling from 4 yards west of h5

02 Aug 2020 11:02AM (Tournament); 5 Readers

Great shot, great position, sending yellow 5 yards north of 4b.

02 Aug 2020 11:08AM (Tournament); 5 Readers

Runs blue off the north boundary, so has a rush back to 4b.... Spectators think it's 'game over'!

02 Aug 2020 11:08AM (Tournament); 5 Readers

It appears it wasn't game over. Avery ran penult deep and missed the return. Ooops.

02 Aug 2020 11:11AM (Tournament); 7 Readers
