South Africa’s Reg Bamford entered Sunday’s WCF Association Croquet World Championship final against England’s Mark Avery on an 11-game triple streak. After about 45 minutes of play in game one, that streak appeared to be in serious jeopardy as Avery had the first turn around and was well on his way to a triple win with Peelee in the jawz of rover as he approached 3B with precision with a standard hoop shot. The ball stuck and that turn ended with just four hoops to go for a potential 1-0 lead.
Bamford took to the court and never really relinquished it again on his way to a 3-0 win to extend that triple streak to 14 games and a perfect knockout record of 14-0. He has now successfully matched Robert Fulford’s record six AC World titles.
