The Malta Croquet Club was founded in 2010 and proved to be an immediate success. The game of croquet was first introduced to Malta when a few friends decided it would be a good idea to set up a team.
Not having a venue of their own, they approached the Marsa Sports Club with the intention of obtaining a lawn to play on. The Marsa Sports Club was willing to provide its facilities subject to the approval of the Cricket Section, and so the Malta Croquet Club was established. At the time, equipment was not available locally and needed to be imported from the UK.
Since inception, the members’ standard has improved and today the club enjoys a healthy number of regular members. Croquet is played every Monday and Wednesday at Malta Croquet Club, and visitors are welcome. Various competitions for members are also organised throughout the year.

The MSC Croquet section will be hosting 10 members of the Bury Croquet Club on Monday 11th and Wednesday 13th of September, 2023. Bury Croquet Club is a fairly large club with Circa 90 members based in Bury, Lancashire, in the North West of England. Play will be held from 9.30 am until about 12.30 pm. All Marsa Sports Club members are invited to come and watch.
The Club offers a full international croquet oval with grass outfield and matting wicket. The croquet section, though modest in scale, is highly active.
