World Ranking at 1st August 2005: 2
Previous WCF World Championship Performances: 2002 - QF; 2001 - 2nd Round; 1995 - Champion; 1994 - Finalist; 1992 - 1st Round; 1991 - SF, 1990 - 1st Round; 1989 - 4th Round When it comes to the collection of croquet honours, 34 yr old Lancastrian, Chris Clarke, takes some beating and the same is true on the croquet lawn too. A consistently high performer, this five times President Cup winner has represented Great Britain in the last four MacRobertson Shield winning teams (as Captain in 1996). He seems to relish the doubles game being 10 times Open Doubles Champion, (9 with Robert Fulford and 1 with David Maugham), whilst in 1997 he did it on his own, winning the Open Singles Championship. On the World stage not only did he win the 1997 Sonoma WCC World Championship, he was the WCF World Croquet Champion in 1995 defeating Robert Fulford in the final in France. Known for his penchant for laying odds on all manner of things, his liking for figures includes his job as a Transport Cost Analyst. A lover of Chinese and Thai food he is ideally placed to ensure that players, “who don’t play to the spirit of the game,” find themselves in the hot soy sauce. |
