 Bedfordshire has won the 'A' Division of the Eastern Counties League winning all seven of its matches. Four of the matches were won 20-0. The total victory point score was 124, which the League Secretary, Roger Amey, believes to be an all-time League record.
The 'B' Team will finish 4th or 5th depending on the result of an outstanding match between Essex and Suffolk, winning four of its matches and scoring a total of 74 victory points.The 'C' Team will finish 5th or 6th, winning two and drawing two of its matches and scoring 64 victory points.
I would like to thank everyone who has played for the County in any of the three teams this year, and look forward to your support again for the coming season.
