The Montague-Jones trophy was won for a record fourth successive year, with a clean sweep as in 1997/98. Although Bedfordshire were comfortably beaten in the quarter-final, the team finally met its match against Yorkshire in the semi-final who played the much better chess on the day and ended a 29 match unbeaten run.
