West Midlands County Darts Organisation have played their fourth fixture in the Andy Wheeler Fisheries Championship Division of the UKDA National League, a home tie with Hertfordshire. Prior to the fixture West Midlands were placed fifth in the division with fifty-seven points and their visitors fourth on sixty-three points both having played three games. So with home advantage West Midlands were hoping for a win which would see them overtake their opponents and move up the table. Unfortunately that was not how it turned out as the ladies had a somewhat disastrous weekend with both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ sides suffering 6-0 whitewashes. Neither was it a good weekend for the men as the ‘B’ team lost their Saturday game 7-5 and the best the ‘A’ could get on Sunday was a 6-6 draw. Match awards went to Ash Khayat who won 4-1 against Shane Smith with a 27.35 average to take the ‘B’ award and man of the match for the ‘A’ side was Shaun Carroll who won 4-1 against Jack Pledger with a 29.11 average.
The overall result for the weekend was a 25-11 win for Hertfordshire which saw West Midlands drop four places in the table to ninth just two above bottom placed Oxfordshire who have two games in hand on West Midlands and next to bottom Cambridgeshire also have one game in hand.
