The day's penultimate session could turn out to be pivotal as
the top two teams played one another, a decisive result either

it went Cambridgeshire's way, putting them 5 points clear.
Meanwhile Essex and Herts both took all
6 points from Northumberland and Durham respctively and Sunderland

Session 9 (Day 1 end of play)
Suffolk needed all six points against Northumberland to regain
the top spot at the end of the day but fell short, losing one
of their games to leave them a point behing Cambridgeshire.
Hertfordshire did take all six points,
that was against Essex and left them just 2 points off the top.
Sunderland had their best session of the
day, winning all 3 games against Norfolk to bring the up to 5th,
and Bedfordshire won twice against Durham to lift themselves
off the bottom of the standings for the first time.
With the top trio of teams separated from
the rest of the field by 10 points it looked as if was going
to be a three horse race on Sunday. |

Session 17
It was a small lead that Cambridgeshire took into their final
session but since it would be against Suffolk, it was important
one. If Cambridgeshire won the lot the title would be theirs.
It was, however, not to be, Suffolk came
through to win all three, which was enough to give them the overall
win with a session still to go.
Hertfordshire took all 6 points off Durham
which gave them a chance to snatch second place, Sunderland did
the same against Beds, lifting them to 4th, the highest they
had been all weekend, and Essex beat Northumberland 4-2. |

Final Session
Northumberland could not add to their tally in the final session
and ended up ninth, where they had been since the end of Saturday
after being overtaken by Bedfordshire.
The fight over 7th and 8th went down to
the final session with Durham taking 4 points to finish on 28,
just overtaking Bedfordshire who finished on 27.
The midfield had been close all weekend,
with Sunderland finally taking 4th on 47 points, Essex 5th on
44 and Norfolk 6th on 43.
Second place was still up for grabs though,
Hertfordshire needed 4 points and 36 shots or better and it looked
as if they were going to do it, but while they took 2 wins, the
third game was lost on the final end as they dropped 4 shots,
to finish just 3 shots behind Cambridgeshire.
Suffolk though took another 6 points to
finish 11 clear, having won 22 of the 24 games they played on
Sunday, to take the title for the 7th year in succession.
