Minor Counties Championship: Shropshire are champions on board-count
Little did the two top teams, meeting on the first day of this competition, realise they were playing the deciding match. It was a draw. Leicestershire and Shropshire ended the season with equal match points and equal game points. Only the application of board count could separate them.
