Backed up by Florrie Edwards (East Grinstead) and Laura Page (Cuckfield) the Sussex girls lifted the crown without dropping a game in all five rounds. However they had to wait until the very end of the day to celebrate as going into the final round Middlesex had matched their four wins.

The opposing trio of Tara Hayes, Sophie Wood and Abbie Wilkinson put up a great fight but could not match the class of Sussex, who became the first county to win an under 11 title.

The boys’ event was run in two groups, with Gloucestershire and Middlesex taking top spots, each with five wins out of five. In the final Gloucestershire won 3-0.

Third place went to Lancashire who enjoyed playing in their own backyard as they ensured Buckinghamshire finished fourth.

Sussex sneaked past Northumbria in the 5th and 6th play-off, while the lower placings were completed by Hampshire, Durham & Cleveland, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Merseyside and Derbyshire.
