Grantham win 2 Divisions of Nottinghamshire League
Grantham I and Grantham II have both won their respective Divisions of the Nottinghamshire League.
Grantham I won Division I for the first time since the 2001/2002 season with and broke the hold that Nottingham University had on the Division for the last three years by a single point.
Grantham II won Division 3 by 3 clear points
Grantham II also had a 25 month unbeaten streak come to an end with a 3.5 to 1.5 loss to newark 2 near the end of the season. Rather than causing a collapse, the loss seems to have spurred the team on to win their remaining matches to clinch the title.
