I believe one has to take it in turns to knock one's ball through the hoops in order, before hitting the pole at the centre. The first party to do so is the winner, Ma'am.

Sounds a bit complex to me.

*Wonders if the Pole in the middle will get fed up with people aiming for him and giving him bruised shins...*
My go!
*Grabs a mallet and gives a heafty swing only to loose grip of the mallet which flies off and hits Menza on the back*
Oops! Sorry, Menza old chap! *Looks sheepish*

One would have to say...er...No. Not at the moment.
*takes own mallet and hits a ball through the first hoop, managing to knock Coelacanth/Menza's ball under a bush*
Remember you have to play your ball from where it ends up.
All is fair in love and crocket

You seem suspiciously good at this. Have you played before? (I have, but it was about 2am after summer ball many years ago and I don't think there were any rules).
*sends Menza off to hit the ball and pours more Bolly instead*

*Menza hits the ball with great skill. It rolls out of the bushes, along the lawn and straight through the second hoop.
Then it hits a stone, flies up in the air and lands in the fountain*
Are we winning now?

*kneels down on the lawn and uses the shaft of the mallet as a snooker cue to pot the ball through the hoop*

Do good dentists really exist. I thought that was just a figment of my deranged imagination.

Now that you mention it, the Shane MacGowan look is quite fetching, isn't it?
