In the AON Championship Division of the UKDA National League West Midlands missed the opportunity to move away from the bottom three of the table when they played away against Cambridgeshire who prior to the fixture were next to bottom of the division with West Midlands just above them and only two points separating them.
The result of the game was a 21-15 win for Cambridgeshire which sees West Midlands now drop into the relegation zone with 123 points from eight games. Cambridgeshire have moved above them and have 130 points but also have a game in hand so the outlook does not look good for the Midlanders.
Both ladies teams had 4-2 results with the ‘B’ winning by that margin and the ‘A’ losing. Award winners were for the ‘A’ and ‘B’ in turn Kat McLean (18.97) and Shellbie Simmons (18.01).
The men’s ‘B’ lost 9-3 with their award winner being Jon Platt (27.39) while the ‘A’ side shared a 6-6 draw with Gavin Baker taking the match award for his 30.37 average.
With points at a premium West Midlands are going to find it difficult to acquire too many in their remaining fixtures as they play away against Berkshire, three places and 21 points above them and then in the Magic Weekend take on fourth and third in the division Sussex and Staffordshire.
