Warwickshire got their new season in the premier division of the BDO Inter County Championships underway with an away fixture against Yorkshire and for the eighth such curtain raiser again it was Yorkshire who got the result.
Warwickshire’s last win on opening day was back in September 2008 when they won 20-16 away to Hertfordshire, this latest fixture against the reigning champions saw them go down 23-13 with three of the four teams losing, both ladies teams lost 4-2 and the men’s ‘B’ went down 9-3 but the men’s ‘A’ staged a terrific fight back as at the halfway stage of their game they trailed 5-1 and then bounced back to share the 6-6 result.
Match awards went to Nigel Heydon (32.32 men’s ‘A’), Ian McFarlane (27.25 men’s ‘B’), Sue Gulliiver (24.55 women’s ‘A’) and Denise Keyte 18.44 women’s ‘B’).
