The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers

Inter Livery Croquet Competition

The Worshipful Company of Glovers hosted a number of liverymen, freemen and their guests for a delightful day of golf croquet at the immaculate Sussex County Croquet Club in Brighton on Saturday 15th June 2024.

Pairs from twenty-one different livery companies participated on a day that began with a downpour which mercifully(!) lifted to an afternoon of clear sunshine. Each pair played five scoring matches, after which the highest two teams emerged to contest the final for each of the two competitions.

The Glovers ran out victors in both the Glover’s Cup (primary competition) and the Inter-Livery Challenge (secondary competition), ran a close second in each by The Leathersellers. See the victors overwhelmed by the adoring crowds in the podium photo below!

The Tax Advisors – on what was a first golf croquet outing for the representatives – performed creditably, with two wins and three losses (three wins with an additional friendly at the end of the day!). A wonderful time of friendly competition and new connections was had by all, and we look forward to the next event next year.
