Worcestershire certain of Midlands title

17 Mar. Notts beat Worcs by a single point. Staffs lose out to Shrops by the same margin

3 Mar. Derbys concede to Leics. Warks beat Notts to go third in the table. Worcs are zone winners because they beat Leics in their individual match and Worcs' last match against Notts is immaterial. as already pointed out. Leics are runners-up. Warks look likely to become MCCU's third nomination for the national stages because Worcs would have to lose to Notts at the same time as Derbys beat Warks, which seems unlikely with Derbys current form. (Thanks to Controller, Giles Stanton, Sean Hewitt, and Neil Graham for putting the webmaster right)

18 Feb. Warks shred Shrops.

4 Feb. Notts have a convincing victory over Staffs and the Shrops-Warks match was postponed to 18 Feb.

21 Jan. Notts just beat Shrops and Leics beat Warks, making Leicestershire top. Derbys default against Worcs and also concede the match against Leics. The controller reports that Derbys are considering whether to play the match against Warks.

10 Dec. Notts beat bottom-of-table Derbys, Leics beat Shrops and Worcs beat Staffs to retain their lead.

19 Nov. Worcs beat co-leaders Leics to go clear top of the table and Shrops beat Derbys. Warks, although defaulting a board just pipped Staffs.

29 Oct. Worcs take advantage of a default to beat Warks. Leicestershire beat Staffs to go top.

8 Oct. In the first round, Worcs lead marginally from Leics and Staffs.

6 Sep. The most hotly contested of the Midland counties championships sees Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire set sights on Worcester's title. Will the previous champions retain their title now their talented youngsters' grades are above the limit? Six teams are in action on the first day, 8 October.
