Anyone have any thoughts on this weekend? Looks like Bucks are down, but joining them could be a number of teams.

The title is between Yorkshire and Essex - will be tough for Essex to catch up. Glasgow & NS will be looking to finish third.

Yorkshire win the title fairly comfortably from Essex (both teams being well below full strength), In fact, no team dominated the final weekend and the majority of scores were 5-5 or 6-4, with only a few 7-3 scores.

Glasgow suffered a blow with GordonThompson tearing his ligaments in the first singles match and they therefore only had 3 men for the rest of the weekend (and were also down their best singles player).

Relegation came down to the final mixed match, as it did last year. Worcestershire needed to beat Leicestershire 7-3 to leapfrog them into 8th place and safety. They got to 6-3 and when Emma Hendry went over on her ankle in the final mixed, it looked like Worcestershire would get their 7th rubber and relegate Leicestershire. But she recovered and Leicestershire won the final mixed to secure their place in Prem A and send Worcestershire down.

Final Table was:

Yorkshire
Essex
Warwickshire
Glasgow & NS
Surrey
Hampshire
Lancashire
Leicestershire
Worcestershire
Buckinghamshire
