The County Fours Championship competition was played on Sunday 11 October at Elm Court.  Eight teams took part, playing initially in two groups of four.  Group winners and runners up progressed to the semi final knockout stage.

The winners and 2015-16 County Fours champions are Jill Oakes, Pauline Taylor, Brian McGivern and Darren Stanford.  The full results are as follows;
1st Jill Oakes, Pauline Taylor, Brian McGivern, Darren Stanford  Greenwood Park/Harpenden/Cuffley Hall/St Margaret's
2nd Jeanette Gayler, Graham Yates, Margaret Regan, Tony Gayler St Margaret's

The County Fours is a qualifying competition for the English National Championships in April 2016.  The winners are guaranteed a place in the National Finals.  Other places are allocated prior to the Championships based on the number of entries from each county.  In 2015 Hertfordshire were allocated two places in the National Fours Finals and is it highly likely that the County Fours runners up will play at the Nationals and the third placed finishers may also qualify for a place.
