For the first time, Watford hosted the finals of the Croquet Association's National Schools & Juniors Championships. This was played on two Short Croquet courts (each 16 x 24 yards) set out for the day on one of the full-size courts in Cassiobury Park.
The Schools Championship was won by Farlingaye School of Ipswich, and the Juniors Championship by Euan Burridge of the Nottingham club.
