Gentlepersons, scoundrels and mallet fans: the 2025 Clements Cup Season Opener is here, and the committee has pegged the hoops with a precision that can only be described as “roughly”.

There is a new face on the committee this year, a fresh hoop-setting policy and, on the Captain’s insistence, a dedicated spot beneath the big tree for his chair.

Wear white. Wear the good white. Wear the white that says “I have never lost at anything” (Ben, we’re looking at you, and no, it doesn’t suit you either).

**Mallet off @ 14:30, Safa Park, by the big tree.**
