Several members of the Rochester Croquet Club competed in the Buffalo Invitational American 6-Wicket Croquet Tournament held August 14–17 at Delaware Park in nearby Buffalo. The players were placed in three different flights, or levels, based on their skill and handicap. Richard Laging took the top prize in the Championship Flight with a 26-24 victory over previous winner Paul Neubecker. Also of note was club member James Peasley, who placed third in the Second flight competition. Both Richard Laging and his partner, Quinn Reinhardt, and James and Peter Bowers took second place in doubles in their respective flights, representing their home club well.
