24 Mar. GMC and Notts draw and Notts are the Midlands Champions according to competition rules on tie-break: "If two teams [...] tie, the winner of the tie shall be the winner of the match played between the two teams involved. In the event of that match having been a tie, the result shall be resolved in favour of the team with the best percentage of aggregate score against the other teams in the same zone ignoring all the scores of a county which has defaulted over half its matches."
