The last day of summer was a gift from the Croquet God: clear sky, warm. Groundskeeper Miguel Miguel cropped the crocosmia bed thereby reducing an obstacle. Since the paddle out for him was cancelled, Lefty lent his considerable presence to the usual cast of senior characters. A suggestion that first aid kits be installed on both the lower and upper levels of the Mar-A-Lawno course was made after two Cowabungas taking blood thinners sustained weeping scratches searching for a ball launched into dense salal. Happily, the ball was found and the wounds were treated. For the record, wiping with a sweaty t-shirt and dousing with beer are NOT AMA recommended treatment options.
SOD game one: En route to the 8th wicket, Mr. Wicket's ball caromed off the deck foundation roqueting on Mallethead's ball. Then, Mr. Wicket sent Mallethead's ball through the 8th wicket thereafter roqueting on Mallethead again. Mention must be made of Mr. Wicket's looooong shot through the 10th wicket.
SOD game two: Wick O'Shay stroked a looooong shot through the 10th wicket.
