Clayton Cup Won by Doug Grimsley and Tim Bitting & Frank Hentic
12-15 June 2008
Central Park, New York City, NY
by John Osborn
As is always the case, the New York Croquet Club's Clayton Cup proved to be an energetic combination of both wonderful festivities and impressive play. The weather was beautiful save for a late Saturday afternoon downpour, one that postponed some of the matches until Sunday.
While certain 'old' names powered their way into the winner's circle, new faces also emerged with style, grace and determination. In all of the Flights, each well balanced in regard to handicaps, most games throughout came down to the last shot.
Until a more detailed report becomes available in the near future, below you will find the Final Order of Finish.
