West Midlands second fixture in division two of the BDO Inter County Championships was a home tie against high riding Sussex.
Saturday’s games saw the ladies finish all square at 3-3, Christine Banks (17.48) taking the match award for the second consecutive game.
The men’s ‘B’ made it two defeats in a row as they finished on the wrong side of a 7-5 scoreline, their top player was Gary Watts (24.78).
Sunday’s results were not much better as the ladies ‘A’ lost 5-1, Lisa Astbury their sole winner with a superb 23.86 average.
To round off the weekend results the men’s ‘A’ were involved in a 6-6 draw, Keith Allman taking the man of the match award with his 28.78 average.
The defeat leaves West Midlands eighth in a ten team promotion table with 38 points leaving them 38 points short of a promotion place and their victors who are second in the table. However, on the plus side, all the tams above West Midlands have played one game more than them as their opening fixture against Nottinghamshire was postponed until 7th and 8th March 2015.
My apologies to the West Midlands players for not having the usual in depth report this month, but if I don’t get the result sheets I am unable to do such a report.
