The competition, which was run as part of the South West Games, also drew competitors from Hamilton, Portland and Warrnambool.
Organiser Barb McKean said Norris and Harvey’s tied win was a remarkable feat.
“(They scored) 52 hoops – that’s the maximum you can get,” she said.
“You don’t necessarily often get two pegging out in two games. They were happy because it was such a long distance they travelled.”
McKean encouraged anyone interested in giving croquet a try to get in contact with the club.
The South West Games will feature more croquet events this weekend, with Casterton hosting a senior competition on Saturday, while Terang is running gateball across Saturday and Sunday.
