Annual Croquet Match (St. Johns vs. Navy) April 20, 2008

The 2008 Croquet Match with the USNA will be held on Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. Please note the date change.

Among the many traditions at St. John's, croquet is a great pastime among the students. The team is nationally ranked and competes annually against our neighbor, the U.S. Naval Academy.

The annual springtime match for the Annapolis Cup is held on the graceful front lawn of the college. The Navy band plays, picnickers abound, the alumni tent offers cucumber sandwiches, chocolates, and champagne. And the goodwill that the opponents display after each match is no clenched-teeth affair, but rather a hearty handshake for a job well done.
