Team Warwickshire 2nd's v Nottinghamshire at Hearsall GC on Sunday 12th October 2008. This was the rearranged fixture following the cancellation on Sunday 7th September.

Warks 1sts vs Notts - away at Wollaton Park - Sunday 12th October. With an 8.5-6.5 win, Warwickshire kept themselves in the hunt for this years' Midlands League title.
