Croquet Tournament

Thirty-six players contested this year's Nelson croquet championships. These pictures were taken early in the tournament.

Following the play closely were Mesdames Iris Ward (Nelson), Ann Palmer (Christchurch) and Mary Day (Nelson).

Keen observers: Mesdames Edith Tongue, Jessie Cheesman and Rebecca Quinn (Perth).

Katie Ward has both eyes on the balls as she finishes a shot.

A sticky shot.
