Suffolk won croquet's second division trophy and along with it promotion to the first division.

The Suffolk team of Steve Comish (captain), Mark Avery, Phil Eardley, Sue Edwards, Chris Farthing, Martin French and Martin Leach had a nail-biting wait at the end of play on the last day for news to come through from Compton that Northumberland had beaten Hertfordshire 3-0.

Suffolk and Hertfordshire finished on seven match wins each, but Suffolk won two more games.

Other than Edwards and Farthing all the Suffolk team are members of Ipswich Croquet Club.
