A series of matches against Leicestershire and Rutland, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire over three days resulted in victory for Lincolnshire.
Garfoot, who is 16, and 18-year-old Kedzlie now move forward with Lincolnshire to represent the region at the national finals in September.
Posting on social networking site Twitter, Garfoot said: “So proud to be part of the winning team for the Midlands North Region county finals. Bring on the nationals!”
