Wellington players to fore in croquet
Wellington players are setting a hot pace in the President’s invitation croSt tournament at the Fenon club’s green. At the end of the second day’s play yesterday Paul Skinley was unbeaten with six wins, one more than his Wellington colleague, Geoff Roberts. A Canterbury player, Roger Murfitt, is well placed with four wins, one of his successes yesterday
being a one-point victory over the New Zealand captain and several times champion, John Prince (Hawke’s Bay). Prince had a patchy run, losing three games on end before whitewashing another Canterbury player, Graham Beale. Results were:— Round 3: Skinley 26, Murfitt 12; Roberts 26, Beale 13; J. Hogan '(Hawke’s Bay) 26 (including double peel), Prince 10; R. Vartholomaeus
A (Manawatu) 26, J. de Kok (Auckland) 2. Round 4: Beale 26, Vartholomaeus 3; Murfitt 26, Prince 25; Roberts 26, de Kok 9; Skinley 26, Hogan 15 (including triple peel).
