Essex v Warwickshire
This coming weekend the Warwickshire County Darts Organisation will play their last away fixture of the season in the premier division of the BDO Inter County Championships and will be hoping to end a run of two consecutive defeats as they travel to the Chelmsford Social Club to take on Essex who are bottom of the division on 91 points, 23 fewer than Warwickshire who are fifth and still in with a good chance of finishing in the top three places as they only trail third placed Cheshire by six points.
Although Warwickshire should be favourites to win the fixture their two previous encounters against Essex have not been good as last season they lost 19-17 at home and in the 2014/15 season played away and lost 22-14, nevetheless Warwickshire wil be going all out to at least equal last season’s final fourth position and hopefull finish third. Strange how fortunes quickly change Essex finished third last seasn with 33 points more than Warwickshire.
