There were 16 teams represented in the 2003 County Championship which was again played as a one-day event at The Atack Snooker Centre in Nuneaton. The three-man teams each played games of 1 hour with aggregate score deciding the winner.
The squad of Stephen Crosland, Richard Lodge, Bob Patterson and Tony Clegg, claimed the title for Yorkshire having defeated Derbyshire 767-709 in the final, in one of the closest matches of the day. Collin Routledge had a memorable 232-197 victory over Yorkshire's star player, Stephen Crosland, but Bob Patterson and Richard Lodge retrieved the situation with good wins over Jim McCann and David Rees respectively.
Patterson was particularly impressive with breaks of 107 and 85 in his game.
This was Yorkshire's first win since 1990, despite reaching the final on several occasions in the intervening years. The Cleveland team, who have dominated this competition since it was reinstated under the EABA umbrella, had fallen to Derbyshire in the semi-finals. Yorkshire, meanwhile, had defeated Cambridge 'A' at the same stage.
