Mark Avery

(England)

Born: 1966

Mark Avery seems to have been playing croquet at a high level for years. With an opening top tournament win in the English Northern Championship in 1982 he has gone on to prove himself with an Open Championship win in 1987 and English Western Championship (1989).

To complement that he has also shown his easy going temperament in taking the Open Doubles Championship in 1985 and 1987 with WCF President , David Openshaw and again in 2003 with David Maugham.

This success has made him an easy selection for the Great Britain MacRobertson Shield winning teams of 1986, 1990 and 2003. In addition he has also regularly played in the annual Solomon Trophy match for Great Britain against the USA.

He was arguably denied his finest moment in 1989, losing narrowly to Joe Hogan in the 1st WCF World Championship at Hurlingham, England.

When not playing, he is to be found in the world of Property Management and Investment but he does find time to enjoy most other sports and in particular Scuba Diving.
