This year the venue was Woodhall Spa’s croquet lawns in Jubilee Park.

Thankfully, the weather was better than last year, when the match was played earlier in the year in a hailstorm at Norwich.

Ten members from each club played in a series of five rounds, each consisting of a mixture of doubles and singles games, all to the best of 13 hoops.

It was the visiting side’s turn to win this year, with a score of 18 games to Spa’s 12 games.
