Inter Counties Tournament 2010
Well done to the Derbyshire ICT team who finished a very respectable 27th in the 2010 Inter Counties Tournament. This was a very young team playing counties with much older players with higher gradings.

Many players in the team have a chance of playing in several future ICT tournaments so we can expect a year on year improvement over the next few years.
