This last advanced croquet tournament at Heaton Park was almost a mini county affair with Middlesex, Cheshire & Lancashire all well represented. The bowling greens are still being badly damaged by rabbits but the courts were created to avoid the worst sand filled pits and transplanted areas.

Saturday morning broke gray & dull as all gathered, but before the first games had finished the sun had broke through and the clouds rolled back. This being the only tournament in the country played this weekend (again) to be bathed in sunshire for the duration.

The format was all play all in untimed games across two balanced blocks leading to a KO. Brian yet again remining unbeaten and retaining the silverware for another year.
