YORKSHIRE’S Senior Men’s County Championship week, which began so impressively with a 9-0 victory over Worcestershire, ended with a 7.5-1.5 defeat to Berks, Bucks and Oxon.

The victory gave BB&O the crown at Robin Hood GC, Solihull, while Yorkshire - who had been edged 5-4 by Devon in their second match - placed third.

At the start of Thursday’s play Yorkshire, BB&O and Devon were all in with a chance of winning the title, but the eventual champions started as favourites, knowing that a halved match or better against John Grimbleby’s side would give them victory.
