In the first year that the Dalby Croquet Club entered a team in the Downs Croquet pennants competition, the club achieved the honour of being runner-up to Toowoomba Club, being beaten by one game only, although the leader in points. Toowoomba won 14 games, and 459 points, and Dalby 13 games, and 469 points. The pennants were keenly contested by Downs clubs, and games were played on a number of lawns over a period of several weeks.
