Sunday's first games maintained the status quo with the top three winning their games. How-
ever, the penultimate round of games changed things considerably as Hertfordshire lost. That 9
now meant that Durham, Suffolk and Herts were all on 10 points and separated by 5 shots.
While Suffolk and Hertfordshire played one another Durham lost to Cambridgeshire, so it was
all down to that one game and it was as close as you might imagine, but the game just fell away
from Suffolk at the very end and it was Hertfordshire who took the title by 2 points.
