Having won the game and the tournament, Eugene poses with Greta, the runner-up. Eugene was aged 16 and relatively new to croquet. As this was a HandicapTournament he was able to use his extra shot allowance to win against a more skilful and experienced player. Eugene went on to compete at high level himself and has introduced croquet to the students at Sheffield University where he is now a lecturer in the Physics Department
