The 33rd match between the Scottish Croquet Association and the Croquet Association was played at the Meadows Club in Edinburgh during the first weekend in September. The result was a 20-10 win for the CA - the third consecutive away win in the series, sending the Glasgow Quaich south of the border again after last year's SCA victory at Crake Valley.

Aided by the assiduous work and persuasive abilities of the new Tournament Secretary Hamish Duguid, entries for this, the 39th Edinburgh Tournament, were more numerous than in any previous year since 2002. The 35 entrants included former tournament manager Ian Wright, who had played on all 39 occasions so far (in 1969 and 1972-80 at Dunfermline College in Cramond, and at Fettes College annually from 1981); the present manager, Fergus McInnes, was perhaps a distant second to him in experience of the Fettes lawns, having played here every year since 1993. At the other extreme we had several first-timers, including this year's furthest-travelled entrants, Jack Davies and Jamie Angus, who had come up from Sussex - though Jamie's accent suggested a past life north of the border, and questioning confirmed that he was originally from Falkirk.
