The Croquet Association of Ireland has nominated three top class players to represent them in the forthcoming Mitsubishi 2005 World

He was taught well, becoming Irish Champion in 2004 with other honours as Irish Doubles Champion 2003, Irish Silver Medal 2001,
2004, Resort Invitational winner 2003, 2004 European Golf Croquet Champion 1999 & 2003. In the last WCF World Championship he won

Ronan McInerney, age 25, has played croquet since he was 10 years of age. An ever present Irish team member since 1994, 3-times
Irish Singles Champion & winner of many other Irish tournaments.
This year he has already shown top form by being Runner-up in the 2005 New Zealand Open. In the last WCF World Championship he was a quarter finalist.
Simon Williams, age 42, He began playing the game in 1982. Backbone of the Irish International team since 1987, he has is 4-times Irish Singles Champion, Doubles, Silver Medal several times, European Champion 1996, Chattooga Challenge winner 1995, S. of England
