Openshaw Shield Team Announcement

We are thrilled to announce the New Zealand National Team that will compete in the upcoming Golf Croquet Team World Championship, the so-called Openshaw Shield, to be held Northern Tasmanian Croquet Centre, St Leonards, Tasmania, Australia from 17 to 23 February 2025.

Our Team for Openshaw Shield is:

  • Edmund Fordyce (Thames Valley)
  • Levi Franks (Canterbury)
  • Logan McCorkindale (Canterbury)
  • Felix Webby (Hawke’s Bay)

Jenny Clarke (Canterbury) has been named as reserve, and Nelson Morrow will be leading the team as Manager. A Team Captain will be selected at a later stage.

‘The selectors faced some challenging decisions but ultimately believe that this is the best possible team to defend the title won in 2020 in Nelson. Let’s rally behind our players and support them as they aim to bring the Openshaw Shield back home!’ John Christie, Convener GC Selection Committee.

Congratulations to the team selected and all the best!
