The new Yorkshire under-120 team, captained by David Mills of Hull (also U-140 captain) was at home to Merseyside, who have this season newly re-entered competition in NCCU team competitions (well, one of them).

The result was a win for Merseyside by 8½ to 3½.

	Yorkshire U‑120	3½‑8½	Merseyside U-120
1	Peter Brennan (Alwoodley)	0-1	Brian Wiggett (Wallasey)
2	Stephen Forbes (West Leeds)	½-½	Sanjoy K Banarjee (Atticus)
3	Stephen Burton (West Leeds)	½-½	Mike D Barrett (Formby)
4	Samuel Playford (Rose Forgrove)	0-1	Gordon B R Summerville (Buckley)
5	Hashim Khan (Alwoodley)	0-1	Ian Stent (Wallasey)
6	Ivor Timmis (Alwoodley)	0-1	Peter Leonard (Liverpool)
7	Harry Feather (Darnall & H worth)	½-½	Alberto Solinas (Liverpool)
8	Sylvan Clarke (Alwoodley)	½-½	Brian Clarke (Wallasey)
9	Alan Riddle (Limewood)	0-1	Nick Davison (Fazakerley)
10	Brendan Briggs (Huddersfield)	0-1	Martin K Cockerill (Wallasey)
11	Aisha Hussain (Alwoodley)	½-½	Paul Treble (Waterloo)
12	Sara Hussain (Alwoodley)	1-0	Rory Quigley (Liverpool)

This is obviously disappointing for the Yorkshire team, but at least it might encourage Merseyside to re-engage more fully in NCCU inter-county events!
