NCCU County Match Schedule 2025-26
At the Zoom meeting with captains on 21/09/2024, it was
agreed that the Open be again run as s single-round Jamboree. Merseyside
have dropped out of the Open, so there are only three teams involved.
Date and venue were not decided at the meeting.
The Under-2050, Under 1850, Under-1650,
Under-1450 are all being run in the usual all-play-all-once format.
On five dates a county is playing two matches at the same venue, so helping
to reduce calendar congestion.
Fixtures were arranged with reference to a pre-compiled
list of potentially problematic dates (see below)
circulated before the meeting in Bryan Bainbridge’s Excel workbook.
The following are on LMS (links
