The England croquet team put on an impressive display in Australia, emerging victorious in the MacRobertson Shield World Team Association Croquet Championship by claiming all three tests against the other participating nations. The tournament, which lasted for three weeks in November featured closely contested matches on difficult lawn conditions with high winds and tight hoops affecting play.

Heading into the final day, England held a commanding 10-5 lead over Australia, with a score of 10-5 and needing only one more match victory to claim the trophy. English veteran player Mark Avery ensured that the English team would avoid any last-minute drama as he defeated Australia's Edward Wilson in two straight games in the first match to conclude for the day.

Jamie Burch was a stand-out player for England as he won all of his matches in both doubles and singles and became only the second player in history to accomplish this feat.

In the end, England’s march to the Shield title came wins of the US, 16-5; New Zealand, 11-10 and Australia, 13-7. In the final round, New Zealand took third place by virtue of an 8-5 win over the US.
