As the new season in the BDO Inter County Championships got underway on the weekend of the 6th and 7th of September, West Midlands will have to wait until the 4th and 5th of October before they play their first match, an away game against Merseyside.
The reason for the first game against Nottinghamshire being postponed until the 7th and 8th of March 2015 is that West Midlands home venue, Gilberts Bar, Willenhall had a double booking, there was already a wedding booked for that day.
Merseyside has always been a tough fixture, especially on home ground, but as a newly promoted team from division three, hopes of a West Midlands win, a team that narrowly lost out on promotion to division one last season, the difference being just nine points, are high and after last season’s disappointment the players will be all out challenging for one of the two promotion places.
