Report

The origins of Croquet are unclear, it may have been played in the Middle Ages, and possibly even have passed down from ancient times. The first mention of Croquet, however, is in the Field in 1858, which mentions meetings of the Co. Meath Croquet Cracks. the players were mostly young and met at each others houses, and one player, George Annesley Pollock of Oatlands and Newcastle, Co. Meath, laid out the rules under the pseudonym “corncrake” and called them “The Rules of the Oatlands Club” – the first Croquet Rules in the World.

The Championship of Ireland, an Open featuring some of the top players of the World, has been won numerous times since 1988 by Irish Croquet players Simon Williams, Ronan McInerney, Mark McInerney and Andrew Johnston.
