Yorkshire did not qualify for the Final Stage of the Open Championship, but instead qualified for the “Major Open” championship Final Stage, which was a knock-out between 4 qualifying teams, with Yorkshire meeting Greater Manchester in the semi-final. (This fact had escaped the notice of the webmaster, hence the delayed reporting.)
