Essex champs!
ECF U120 Final
Middx 5½-6½ Essex
At Leamington Spa. Essex have won the U120 Final against Middx. The win was achieved with two games to spare as, at 6-4, Essex had a win on Board Count even if the last two games were lost. Essex showed great resilience as Middx had the early advantage, three times holding the lead in the early stages. Essex held their nerve and came back in the second half of the match to stretch over the winning line.
Many congratulations to the team and to skipper Malcolm Crane on a fantastic season, capped with the best result.
