OPEN
3 entries (3 last year)
They are the same as last year, but you'd guessed that. Maidstone, Mushrooms and Wood Green are to play a single-round all-play-all.
Results so far: Mushrooms 5½ ½ Maidstone played 14.5.11. We understand they plan to save Wood Green v Mushrooms till last and play it alongside the southern Finals. 23.6.11: Apparently so. Maidstone ½ 5½ Wood Green. Wood Green v Mushrooms should be a close match, on results to date.
