Played eight won eight and only one fixture remaining, that’s Warwickshire’s record in division one of the BDO Inter Counties Championships this season. With a 30 points lead on second placed Gwent and a massive 36 points advantage over third in the table Dorset, only a complete disaster can stop their promotion back to the premier division.
The latest fixture was a local derby against West Midlands and Warwickshire returned with their biggest away win of the campaign, a very convincing 27-9 result. Both men’s teams won 8-4, while the ladies ’A’ won 5-1 and the ’B’ handed out a 6-0 whitewash.
Match awards went to, West Midlands names first, men’s ’A’ Ian Jones (33.40, Nigel Heydon 34.31, men’s ’B’ Dean Stewart 26.59, Tony Nolan 26.54, women’s ’A’ Leanne Jennings 21.78, Trina Gulliver 24.62, women’s ’B’ Louise Graham 20.22 (Warwickshire).
