AC Association Croquet

National The Mary Rose is a national inter-club team croquet competition that is run each year in England and Wales by Croquet England. Club teams comprise 4 players who must each have handicaps of at least 0, and with their aggregate handicap being at least 4. It is a knock-out competition played to Level Advanced rules, with the earlier rounds drawn on a regional basis to minimise travel times.

Last year for the second consecutive year we reached the semi-final where we lost to Hurlingham.
