So, having never heard of Crokinole before, at first sight, it seemed as if the sole purpose was to get a small crok in a hole. BORING! However, as time went on and the players started to push their opponent's crok off the board or knock two off with one crok I could see there was much more to this game than meets the eye. I would not be surprised if these guys were World champions at shove ha'penny too. Thanks for the upload.
Glad that you got into it! There are game that it turns into a 20s race which can be tedious, but you also get very interesting play like what’s seen in this match :) I had to google Shove Ha’penny, and while I don’t know any crok-players who also play that, perhaps we should give it a shot 😆
