It was not such a good weekend for West Midlands in division one of the BDO Inter County Championships as for the first time this season they lost. After kicking off the season with four consecutive wins an away game against next t bottom of the division Hertfordshire looked as though it would be a certain win but surprisingly the 20-16 result went in favour of the home side.
Both ladies teams finished with a 3-3 draw, Sarah Roberts collecting her third ‘A’ team lady of the match award with a super 24.87 average and for the ‘B’ team it was Sophie Singh, a 20.46 average making it two consecutive awards for Sophie.
For the first time in five game the men’s ‘B lost going down 8-4 with Mathew Moore their top player with a 24.14 average. The men’s ‘A’ did a little better as they finished all square at six each, Owen Maiden with a superb 31.31 average receiving the match award.
The defeat was not as damaging as it could have been as West Midlands hold on to second place with 113 points just one short of leaders Cheshire who lost 21-15 away to London, the win seeing London move up two places to third, nine points short of West Midlands.
