Good Luck Team England - 2025 GC World Team Championship

Croquet's World Cup is being contested in Australia, where England's fantastic four compete against the best players in the world, for the Openshaw Shield.

The World Croquet Federation PFC Mallets Golf Croquet World Teams Championship, competing for the Openshaw Shield, is the fourth occurrence of this contest and held between Monday, 17th to Sunday 23rd February 2025 at the Northern Tasmanian Croquet Centre, St Leonards, Tasmania.

The England players are Jamie Burch (Reigate Croquet Club), Euan Burridge (Nottingham Croquet Club), Jack Good (Bowdon Croquet Club), and the team captain, Aston Wade (Hurlingham Club).

In an article published in the February Croquet Gazette, ahead of the event, Stephen Mulliner writes "The top five teams all contain between two and four players under 30. The standard of top Golf Croquet has continued to rise as the extraordinary hitting and long hoop-running performances of the best players show what is possible and increase expectations accordingly".

New Zealand is defending the title, last contested in 2020, and play against seven other countries.
