Generally good weather although a couple of days of strong winds made bowling 'awkward' and rain on the last morning was more than irritating. However, the schedule was not affected. The closing ceremony had to go into the (accommodating) Suncastle. It was well attended and the following were awarded:-
   VICTOR LUDORUM (Most Men winners/finalists)
      Durham
   VICTRIX LUDORIX (Most Women winners/finalists)
      Derbyshire
   Under 25 Player of the Year
      Alex Scott (Northumberland)
