TWO BOORT Lakeside croquet players are off to Melbourne to play in the regional titles after success in play-offs at Charlton.
Daryl Henderson and Alister McDougal won their respective levels at the Murray Valley regional competition last Saturday.
They qualified for the play-offs with victory in the Boort Lakeside club championships earlier this month.
Henderson and McDougal will now compete at the Victorian Croquet Centre at Cairnlea on April 11-13.
They will face opponents from the other 12 regions of Victoria at the titles.
Henderson defeated Charlton star Lindsay Patullo in Level 1 competition, while McDougal triumphed over Boort teammate Dianne Johnston in Level 3, whose performance was strong enough to reduce her handicap.
Henderson is on a winning streak, having claimed the Level 1 titles in both singles and doubles at the club’s annual tournament a week earlier. Julie Farmer from Swan Hill took out the Level 2 title at the play-offs from Charlton’s Naomi Patullo. Boort’s Jean Henderson, who was to play in Level 2 after winning through to the Murray Valley competition, was unable to take part due to illness.
