The final proved to be an anti-climax as Essex finished well beaten by a strong Notts side. Despite leading twice early on as a result of wins by Andy King and John Philpott, it was evident as the afternoon progressed that too many positions favoured Notts for any realistic hopes of victory to be entertained. Essex successes were few and far between, although particular mention should be made of Roy Heppinstall's win on board 1 when he played a very accurate and active defence after his opponent had sacrificed a couple of pawns to open up Roy's king.
