CNZ AC Club Championships

Held by the Wellington Croquet Association

CNZ has invited four of our strongest AC Clubs: Epsom Remuera, Waireka, Wellington & Whakatane to contest a club championship in the context of a player development event to support CNZ’s high performance objectives for AC. To assist fulfilment of these objectives, CNZ has secured the option to allocate a limited number of places on each club team to players not affiliated to these four clubs.
