EASTER CROQUET SUMMARY

The Mauler dominated at Maldre Yard on Easter Croquet 2002 winning four of out five matches. The Punisher lost the Universal Belt to the Mauler in the first Match. Pat Seger acquired it in the third match. Kudos are given to Pat for valiantly playing with his broken wrist and becoming a brief Universal champion. However such injuries would prove to be devasting for him when in the final match of the day (the first international style match played in Squirearchy history), the Mauler re-attained his title as Universal Champion in the Chicago Croquet Squirearchy of Gentleflolk.

EASTER CROQUET DETAILS
In the fourth and final match of Easter Croquet 2002 Punisher and Mauler were devising ways to handicap Hammer. They reasoned that the Hammer would not perform to his par of excellence in an international style match. "He'll be befuddled and random in such a match." Whilst the rest of the players were enjoying a delightful dessert in the Maldre Mansion, the
Mauler* and the Punisher nimbly rearranged the wickets for an international court. At first the Hammer was outraged, but was quickly succumbed to playing. The match would only run once through the wickets for time was running short with the setting sun. Much to the Mauler's and Hammer's surprise, the Hammer was having great success on this court. "Our evil plan has been foiled!" cried out the Punisher. The Mauler was dead last, but with all the players sitting ahead of him would prove to be his ultimate advantage. The Mauler accomplished a half-court run clearing the last four hoops bypassing everyone to win the game and the Universal Championship Belt. The Mauler was glad to bring the belt home for Mr. T to protect. Quoted afterwards he stated, "Mr. T likes the gold, he'll be estatic to guard the Universal Belt."
