For those of you interested, David Pardoe lost his game on Board 5 for Manchester.

Saturdays U160 County match was a typical keenly fought battle, played at the Newcastle-U-Lyme Bridge club... a very pleasant neutral venue.
The best team on the day won.. so well done to Warks and good luck in your future matches.

Firstly I must congratulate David - this must be the shortest post ever from him. Secondly Notts meet Manchester at the same venue next month - plenty at stake in that match.

The Under 140 and Under 100 events are off and running. National U140 Champions Worcestershire maintain their superb form from last season.

In the U120, Notts beat Warks and Worcs beat Lincs

Qualifying in the Under 140 remains in the balance after Derbyshire drew with Nottinghamshire. National champions Worcestershire should take one spot but other places are less easy to predict.

In the Under 120 Championship beaten national 2016 finalists Warwickshire took the second MCCU place whilst Lincolnshire were knocked out after losing to Staffordshire. The third and final nomination will now depend on the match between Worcestershire & Staffordshire in March
