Derbyshire v Norfolk
Derbyshire began their 2018 – 2019 campaign in division three of the BDO Inter County Championships with a tough away game against Merseyside, a fixture they lost 22-14 last season on their home board so a draw at Liverpool was a huge leap forward.
This coming weekend at the Pinxton Village Hall, 3 Kirkstead Road, Pinxton, NG16 6NA Derbyshire will be playing hosts to Norfolk who lost their opening home fixture with Cleveland 20-16.
With four wins and a draw in the last five fixtures of last season, together with a draw in this season’s opener Derbyshire’s players confidence should be sky high, that together with a couple of new faces in the squad should surely make them favourites to win.
Selected to play this weekend are Men’s ‘A’:- Ian Allcock, Pete Burgoyne, Ian Clarke, Tim Daniels, David Fritchley, Richard Hanson, Ryan Hassell, Rob Hawker, Connor Hodgkinson, Ben Homes, Steve Paling, Lee Stanley, Men’s ‘B’:- Lee Arkwright, Henry Coates, Keith Cooper, Gary Fenn, Andy Gillott, Sean Lambert, Scott McCabe, Rob Needham, Tim Rippon, Michael Ryall, Steve Thompson, Paul Williams, Reserves:- Gary Barker, Loz Barnes, Andy Houghton, Neil Parkin, Peter Slater, Darren Webster, Women’s ‘A’:- Rachel Ayres, Terri Bellamy, Rebecca Hoyland, Sammi Marshall, Louise Rawson, Jackie Sweet, Women’s ‘B’:- Debbi Caven, Dee Fenn, Sara Harrison, Jennifer McCormick, Emma Varnam, Carol Western, Reserves:- Dawn Buckley, Emily Jones, Katrina McAleney, Rose Mort.
