West Midlands have definitely turned around their indifferent start to their season in division three of the Kaliber BDO Inter Counties Championships after recording their third win in a row. After a curtain raising defeat by Suffolk they then beat Devon and Wiltshire. In their latest fixture at home to Oxfordshire they had 7-5 wins from both of their men’s teams, a draw by the ladies ’B’ and a solitary defeat for the ladies ’A’ to give them a close but vital 19-17 victory.
For the third successive game Ian Jones was man of the match for the ‘A’ side, as in the previous game at Wiltshire he again had a 31.31 average. Ian Hartland (285.05) was the ’B’ side top player and for the ladies, Sara Jukes (2031) and Angie Perry (16.49) took the ’A’ and ’B’ respective awards.
