Association Croquet
The Longman Cup is a national
inter-club croquet tournament that is run each year in England
and Wales. Club teams comprise 4 players who must each have
handicaps between 3.5 and 20, and with their aggregate handicap being at least 24. It is a knock-out competition within each region,
played with handicaps, with the regional winners progressing to
the national semi-finals and final at the end of the season.

Longman Cup runners-up in 2015
Last year we did not participate because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Watford did quite well in this event a few years ago, though with several players
gaining lower handicaps and becoming ineligible for the Longman Cup our success has migrated more recently towards the
Mary Rose instead, and we have lost in the first round of the Longman Cup for the
last 3 years.
We were national Longman Cup champions in 2001, national finalists in 2003,
2012 and
2015, and regional finalists in
2004 and 2005.
