Northern Counties Championship
Final
Played at Manchester
on Saturday, 27/04/1912
over 30 boards
Yorkshire did not
have to play a match in round one, and so entered the final, where their
opponents, as expected, were Lancashire.
The final of the
NCCU team championship, between Lancashire and Yorkshire, was scheduled to be
played on Saturday, 16/03/1912, at Manchester. However, it had to be
postponed due to the suspension of railway services, resulting from a coal
shortage resulting from a coal strike.
On Saturday,
06/04/1912, the coal strike ended, and in time the passenger railway system
returned to normal, and the match was eventually played on 27/04/1912, at
Manchester.
Of the thirty
Yorkshire players originally selected and invited to play, eighteen
declined. Thus the Yorkshire team, which would normally be expected to
probably lose, but by a modest margin, in the event lost more heavily than
was normal.
The individual
game results given by the Sheffield Daily Telegraph of Saturday,
29/04/1912, totalled 20½-9½, though the team score-line, given
in two places, was 20-10.
