Alan Towe’s The Line – Hampshire v Derbyshire
In the second round of division one fixture’s in the Riley’s BDO Inter County Championships Derbyshire will be travelling south to take on Hampshire at Hillpark Memorial Club, 78 Highlands Road, Fareham, PO15 6JD.
Both teams recorded wins in the curtain raisers, Derbyshire winning their home tie with Dorset, while Hampshire won away against West Midlands.
With confidence riding high for both teams and only two points separating them in the promotional table, the match should be a real thriller. However, fourth placed Derbyshire do have a tough task as their second in the table hosts were a premier division outfit last season and with home advantage they could be quite an obstacle.
