Su Armstrong, who usually played in the team, injured her knee two days before the final and was unable to play in the final at Helmsley so Sandra Roberts was asked to join the team. The win over Swinton saw the team through to the national finals at Leamington Spa in August. They were presented with the shield by Ladies President Margaret Redhead.
