Lettland v Schweiz
16.-17. Juli 2022
After a day in Riga, the Swiss team enjoyed the fantastic hospitality of the Latvian Croquet Federation, hosted by Ikšķiles Kroketa Klubs near Riga. The competition consisted of 2 groups with 5 players from each country: a Champions group with the best 5 players from each country and a Fun group with the next 5 best players. Each player in each group played 5 singles matches against their opponents in that group, for a total of 50 singles matches. Doubles teams were made up of one player from the Champions team and one player from the Fun team. Each doubles team played 5 matches, for a total of 25 doubles matches. The Latvian team demonstrated the comprehensive quality of its 10 players and won the tournament 51:24.
We greatly appreciated the friendly atmosphere in Latvia and would recommend other croquet players and teams to travel there, as the croquet lawn is excellent and the new clubhouse is perfect. We were able to get to know the players over dinner. They are not only good players but also very humorous.
The trip was a great experience.
The Swiss team players were:
Daniel Studerus, Neil Thomas, Peter Payne, Volker Herrmann, Andre Imboden, Andreas Habel, Louis Salzgeber, Lucia Schweizer, Christoph Meyer, Edith Nemeth.
