The White Rose county has carried off the title for a staggering 11th time in 12 years. The team centres on England internationals - captain Melissa Reynard, Clare Taylor and young bowler Laura Spragg. They secured their win after all matches were abandoned on the final day due to rain.
Kent gain promotion from Division Two to Division One having been relegated last year, and Hampshire will move from Division Three to take their place next year. Northamptonshire enter the competition for the first time in Division Three having won the Emerging Counties tournament last week, and will replace Wiltshire. Reynard said she was disappointed that the final two games were washed out. She said: "It was disappointing not to play Berkshire today as it would have been a great game. "But we won all our matches and the team have performed really well". On Thursday, England's selectors will name the England Test squad to face India in a two-match Test Series, starting at Shenley on 8th August.
