| Under-160 Counties Championship |
Table updated 28 February
The first match to reports shows a near upset with Shropshire forcing Manchester to a drawn match away on 17 October. Shropshire again perform well above expectations on 7 Nov thrashing Warks to go top of the table. With two matches played each, Notts go to the head of the table. The first result of 2010 shows Leics beating Greater Manchester to go to the top of the table. In February, Warks thrashed GMC, but this was not sufficient to rise in the table.
