In the Open, the above
Open match completed the schedule of matches. It left each competing
county with one match win and one match loss. Northumberland, and
Greater Manchester had each accumulated 12˝ game points to Yorkshire 11,
pushing Yorkshire into third place, while the tie between the other two is
resolved in Northumberland’s favour by their individual match result.
(That is the writer’s interpretation of the rules, though the “official”
verdict will doubtless be announced later.)

(Northumberland
arguably have only 18˝ qualifying game points as one match was played with 13
boards not twelve.)
In the Under 2050,
Northumberland are in the lead, but the match Cleveland v Yorkshire remains
to be played (scheduled for 25th March), and a 3-9 loss by Yorkshire to
Cleveland, or better, would seem to be sufficient for Yorkshire to end up as
overall winners, if only on a game-point tie-break, leaving Northumberland
second.

In the Under 1850,
Yorkshire seems now to have secured first place irrespective of the result of
the one match yet to be played, between Greater Manchester and Merseyside
(also scheduled for 25th March). Although Cumbria is currently in
second place by a hair’s breadth, if Greater Manchester scores at least 1˝
game points against Merseyside then they will finish second, it seems.

The Under 1650 and Under
1450 have already concluded with Yorkshire coming first and Greater
Manchester second in each case.
