The final was scratched and Geoff Hunt won his second title as Mo Yasin was unable to compete due to badly spraining his ankle during the semi-final: this was the first time the final could not be held since 1934.

As a consolation, the crowd was treated to an exhibiton match between Hunt and Barrington.[1]
