A croquet match has been used in an attempt to settle a dispute between two counties over the pronunciation of a river name.
In Northamptonshire, the 90-mile (150km) River Nene is known as the Nen . Over the Cambridgeshire border, it is pronounced Neen .
Northampton and Peterborough croquet clubs battled it out on Sunday, with the winner deciding the pronunciation.
Northampton won 7-2 and so both clubs will now use the Nen pronunciation.
