It was good news for the West Midlands as in their BDO Inter County Championships away game at Cumbria they chalked up a much needed 22-17 win which means they have retained their status in division two and beaten the dreaded drop.
The ladies ‘B’ were on the wrong side of a 6-0 whitewash, giving them nine defeats in as many outings. Diane Tolley (20.00) won the ‘A’ award as they also lost, 4-2. But it was good news for the men as the ‘B’ team strolled to a 10-2 win with Steve Penwright (26.37) their top man. The ‘A’ team’s 7-5 win means that they have won their league having suffered just one defeat, an 8-4 reversal against Berkshire back in March. Taking the man of the match award was Tipton’s Ian Jones with a tremendous 31.95 average.
