Mosman Croquet Club Shines As Alison Sharpe Wins State Championship

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—I extend warm congratulations to Mosman Croquet Club for proudly hosting the 2025 NSW Women's Association Croquet [AC] Open Singles Championships from 23‑25 May. This prestigious tournament welcomed talented players from across NSW and interstate, showcasing the strength and spirit of competitive croquet. A special congratulations to Mosman's own Alison Sharpe, who delivered an exceptional performance, winning every match and claiming the championship title by pegging out well before time in each game. Her precision and poise were remarkable and a source of great pride for the local community. Recognition is also due to strong contenders: Cammeray's Rosie Landrebe, and Joanne Brown, whose competitive spirit and skill kept the matches closely fought. Rosie was awarded runner-up on count-back, and Joanne's consistent performance added to the high calibre of play throughout the tournament. Celebrating its centenary last year, Mosman Croquet Club remains a treasured sporting institution on Sydney's lower North Shore. Under the leadership of President Joanne Nimmons and Secretary Fidye Westgarth, the Club continues to foster excellence, community spirit, and a deep love for the sport. Congratulations once again to Alison and to all involved in this outstanding event!
