Nottinghamshire had to pull out all the stops to field three county sides. In this match, neither Henry Pynegar nor Michael Zhang yet play regular league chess yet they gave Notts a flying start and the Midlands side thought they might yet achieve wahat they thought impossible. In the end the stronger Bedfordshire side prevailed. (Based on report by Ben Cronshaw in The Middlegame Results Supplement 22.)
