National Club KO: Round 1 results, scores and top performers

The ECB National Club Championship saw cricket clubs in Yorkshire battle it out in Round 1 over the weekend. (There have been preliminary rounds beforehand).

The chance to show what you can do against other Yorkshire sides and then nationally holds plenty of intrigue.

These are really a set of cup finals, difficult to predict and not always on the same lines as the club’s league form. As you’ll see, some thumping wins and some close calls.
