Team Dynasty

The first season is over for UrbanHonking's Croquet Team Dynasty after their best performance yet last Sunday was unable to vault them ahead of Make Like or Team Half and Half. With Matt McCormick's amazing come from behind victory in the first match and Daniel's solid second place finish in the second match, UrbanHonking's Croquet Team Dynasty was able to tie the current league leaders Team Half and Half.

UrHo's Croquet Team Dynasty was back to its original lineup with Steve Schroeder returning to take his spot alongside UrHo Croquet Team Dynasty Captain Daniel Peterson. An epic Saturday multi-hour practice on the home course at Overlook Park was thought to add some advantage to the Dynasty team, however they proved their mettle on the largest course yet seen by the Portland Croquet League teams that showed up that day. While generally smoother than many of the backyard courses, Overlook Park presented many times of terrain and grass-lengths, as well as an incredibly tricky 8th wicket on a steep hill, nicknamed the "Wicked Wicket."
