The final result found the 21st Lancaster (Bowerham C.C.), winners of the Kennedy Cup, with 14 points, the Sports Shield going to the 15th Lancaster (Baptist), with nine points. County Commissioner T. W. Helme presented the trophies to the respective Sixers, Fred Shepherd (21), and S. Williams (15), on behalf of their Packs.
