The Warwickshire County Darts Organisation will complete their fixture card for the BDO Inter Counties season this coming weekend and the match has turned out to be the most important one of the season. Warwickshire are currently on 144 points, just two places off the bottom. Their opponents, Staffordshire, are only eight points behind them and so this will be a real crunch match, the loser most probably being relegated to division one.
The match will be staged at the White Eagle Club, Riverway, Stafford, a factor in Staffordshire’s favour. Will Warwickshire players keep their nerve, can they survive the final hurdle and maintain their premiership status? Watch this space for the outcome!
Selected to play in the final match are, Men’s ‘A’:- K.Dowling, S.Hine, C.Fowler, S.Dwyer, A.Sharratt, T.Brown, N.Gedney, S.Cain, P.Rouse, T.Frost, C.Laffar, P.Koyce, Men’s ‘B’:- D.Harris, M.Bagley, R.South, G.Podmore, J.Brooks, M.Strong, S.White, B.Stephens, S.Mitton, D.Shorthouse, R.Shenton, M.Whelan, Reserves:- P.Cummins, C.Jones, M.Flood, S.Sharpe, Women’s ‘A’:- T.Gulliver, D.McPherson, J.Dwyer, C.Pike, L.Newcombe, P.Thornton, Women’s ‘B’:- V.Franklin, B.Ford, D.Burke, D.Jones, S.Deery, T.Edgecombe, Reserves:- D.Barnes, C.Dumbleton.
