Swindon Croquet Club win back to back promotions. The croquet season starts traditionally with a short croquet tournament at Nailsea at which most clubs from the South West and South Wales compete with most of the best players from these clubs taking part. The competition is in five divisions. In 2022, Swindon were champions of Division 3 and promoted. This year, they went one better topping Division 2 and earning a back to back promotion having won 12 of their 16 matches. Maybe next year they will emerge as overall champions!
