Neil Graham reports. The Under 100 saw Lancashire take an early lead of 4-0 courtesy of impressive wins from some undergraded juniors. After that it was all downhill though as the northern team could add just one further point to their total as Leicestershire retained their national title winning seven of the last eight games to finish giving the Midlands county a 7-5 victory. All twelve games in this section were decisive with no draws on the scorecard.
