Day 2 was a different story. While a number
of teams had managed to stay in touch with Cambridgeshire on
the first day, no one was able to do so on the final day of the
competition.
In a total, of the 27 games played by them,
Cambridgeshire lost only 3 and ended up taking a dominant win.
Essex fell back to third, leaving Suffolk to take the runner-up
spot for the second year in a row, while Norfolk jumped up from
7th place over night to take a creditable 4th place finish, demoting
Durham to 5th while relative newboys Sunderland took an impressive
6th place.
