Yorkshire won their 14th title after defeating Cornwall in the final.[3]

The competition had been devastated by the cancelling of fixtures due to flooding and Foot-and-mouth disease so therefore the two previous years' winners Yorkshire and Cornwall met in a challenge match to decide the Championship.[4]

gollark: I am currently just not using Facebook, and if I'm forced into it for whatever reason I'll upload faked photographs or something.
gollark: It *probably* isn't actually against the law in... wherever they're testing it, America probably.
