Lincolnshire’s Super Team take home the Inter-County Division 1 Trophy

In 2024, when four of our top young players joined forces to bring a new county to the field, everyone knew that the Inter-County Championship had just got that much tougher.  All counties start their campaign in Division 2, which is where Lincolnshire’s impressive performance won the tournament and they were dubbed the Super Team.

One year on, having taken promotion to Division 1, the team are still unbeatable.  Led by Aston Wade, the U21 World Champion, Lincolnshire won all their matches.  The team was made up of Aston Wade (Hurlingham Club), Callum Johnson (York Croquet Club), Euan Burridge (Nottingham Croquet Club) and Richard Bilton (Gainsborough Croquet Club).

The win is an unbelievable achievement, as the newly formed 2024 team have now won all county test matches they have ever played.

Aston Wade thanked Sussex County Croquet Club in his closing speech as he accepted the trophy, appreciating the huge amount of work required by the volunteers from the club to host the championship.  He also thanked his team mates and the competitors who made the event so enjoyable and exciting.

Congratulations to the Lincolnshire Super Team.
