Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd March 2024 saw all four senior county teams in action. The 1st team took on Lincs 1s, Leics 3s and Avon 4s in Warwick, Cambs 2, also in Warwick, played Norfolk 1s, Staffs 1s and Warwicks 3s. Cambs 3 were in Leamington Spa and faced Bedford 1s, Northamptonshire 1s and Warwicks 4s. And our newly introduced Cambs 4 team were playing in Peterborough, where they played Lincs 3s, Derbyshire 2s and Northamptonshire 2s.
Cambs 1 played in Division 2 Central and had three 8-3 wins across the weekend against Lincs 1s, Leics 3s and Avon 4s. This meant the 1st team finished on 55 points, top of the league and therefore will be promoted into Division 1 for next season!
