Mark Ormerod was the surprise victor at Southport Croquet Club's Advanced Tournament on 13-14 April.

Ormerod had recovered from a game down to beat Edinburgh's James Hopgood in the semis, earning his place against Great Britain Captain, Keith Aiton, in the final. Keith had shown impressive form in the earlier rounds, but Mark stole the first game by a single point, and shut Keith out for most of the second game to win the title.
