A friendly match was played on Thursday 11th March, organised by Surrey CBA and the YCBA and coordinated by Oliver Cowan.
The idea was to make it a friendly match of 20 boards, involving 4 teams of 4, across a spectrum of NGS grades and to have a ‘Dales and Hills‘ virtual trophy which would be competed for bi-annually.
The result was a fine win for the county with the following results:
