In the Andy Wheeler Fisheries Championship Division of the UKDA National League, West Midlands had a home fixture with Middlesex, the two teams being promoted from the L-Style Division One last season.

Black Country had a tough away fixture against high-riding Clwyd who topped the L-Stylr Division One table with 160 points, Black Country lying seventh and with some forty-nine points fewer than their hosts but with a game in hand. Despite this it was Back Country who had the better start to the weekend with the ladies ‘B’ getting a share of the spoils in a 3-3 draw and the men’s ‘B’ winning 7-5. Match awards going to Chez Allcock and Rich Bowen who in turn accounted for Alex Foulds with a 3-0 win and 20.31 average and Dan Alker who Bowen beat 4-0 and averaged 27.45.

Beginning Sunday with a 10-8 lead, Black Country quickly found themselves trailing 13-11 as the ladies ‘A’ finished on the wrong side of the 5-1 result with Stella Sims their only winner, Sims taking the match award for her 14.88 average in her 3-2 win over India Edwards. Although the running-score was now 13-11 in Clwyd’s favour, there was still a chance of Black Country getting something out of the fixture and hopes were heightened as at the halfway stage of the men’s ‘A’ game the score was 3-3 and the overall total standing at 16-14 to Clwyd but still with everything to play for. With three winners in the first four games of the second half, Clwyd were home and dry, the result 7-5 to the home team to give them an overall 20-16 win for the weekend. One shining light for Black Country was the performance from their Tom Bissell, who in his 4-0 win over Phil Hughes he chalked up a fantastic average of 33.97.

With the majority of teams only having a couple more fixtures to play to the halfway point of the season in the Harborne and District League, the big question is will leaders Copper Fox ‘R’ go into the second half undefeated? In what was their thirteenth fixture, Copper Fox ‘R’ had a 6-3 win at Weoley Castle to keep them two points to the good on second and third placed Northfield Darts Club and Northfield Conservative Club, both Copper Fox ‘R’ and Northfield Conservative Club have a game in hand on Northfield Darts Club.
