2010 season Association Croquet match update

After last year's successes, Ealing have had no Association Croquet match wins this season. Our first match was in the Longman Cup, and we lost 4-3 to Hurlingham, at Hurlingham, on 8 May. Our first U-league match was at home against Reigate, and we lost 5-2, our worst defeat of the season. On 12 July we played Surbiton, again at home, and every Ealing player won one game and lost one. As one of the games we won was the doubles, this meant we lost 4-3 again. The other two U-league matches will be against Dulwich, at Dulwich, on 21 August, and at home to Parsons Green on 28 August.
