Open loss makes it tough
The Open team's loss to Middlesex by 9½-6½ now requires Essex to beat first-placed Surrey in the last match in order to retain any chance of qualification - a tall order as Surrey have a 100% score with just the one match to go. Even then, qualification looks unlikely, although still possible if Herts were to at least draw with Middx.
Other matches:
Sussex 12-4 Herts
Surrey 10-6 Kent
U120 Herts and Essex had already qualified from this section, but Essex drew level with Herts on Match Points by beating the latter 6½-5½ at Welwyn Garden City. Herts retain the tie-break advantage (game points between the two teams) and the SCCU Championship will depend on the last fixtures where the two leaders each play a team in the bottom half.
Other match:
Kent 9-3 Surrey
