On the same weekend and in weather remarkably similar to that experienced at Compton with "welcome sunshine after lunch" on Sunday, Dominic Nunns won the Solomon Cup before the sun came out with a clinical +26, +26TP in the B O 3 Final against Paul Castell.
Omied Hallam (Nottingham) won the Consolation Swizz with 5 wins from 6.
The Sussex Tumbler – the "B" Level Round Robin – went to Edinburgh in the hands of Dr David Houston who finished with 5 wins from 5 with Paul Wolff the runner up on 3 from 5.

James Death defeated a strong opposition to win the Sandiford Salver at
the Southport Advanced Weekend on 15-16 September.
Death played some fast and elaborate croquet, squeezing ten games into
the two days. On the way he completed three triple peels, one triple on
his opponent, a quad, a straight quad, and the not-often-seen quintuple
peel on opponent. Credit must go to Peter Wilson, who managed the event
and succeeded in scheduling enough games to satisfy James's appetite for
croquet throughout.
John-Paul Moberly made his Southport debut after recently relocating to
the North West, and won six games out of seven to take second place.
Results:
James Death – 10/10
John-Paul Moberly – 6/7
Paul Rigge – 6/8
Alain Giraud – 5/8
Omied Hallam – 4/8
Richard H Smith – 2/6

Dave Gunn – 2/7
James Hawkins – 2/7
Peter Wilson – 2/7
