Two teams could be nominated by each Union as qualifiers for ECF stages.

In the U-160, Cumbria didn’t wish to compete in the ECF stage,

even if they won the o/s match, so Yorkshire and Lancashire went through.

 

Open

 

Only these two teams entered the NCCU Open section.  As the NCCU has two qualifying

places in the ECF’s Counties Championship, both teams went through to that competition.
