Darts News – Alan Towe’s The Line On Darts – Cleveland v Derbyshire
This coming weekend Derbyshire go into their penultimate fixture of the season in division two of the Riley’s BDO Inter County Championships, a game that could ultimately decide which division they will play in next season.
It will be a tough away game against Cleveland, who are currently in second place in the promotional table on 158n points, just one behind leaders Somerset and four ahead of their visitors Derbyshire. Somerset will play away to middle of the table Suffolk and on paper an easier task than ether of their chasing rivals.
So will it be a quick return to division one for Derbyshire, or will they stretch their unbeaten season to eight games having won five and drawn the last two.
Lining up for possibly the most important game of the season will be, Men’s ‘A’:- Adrian Asprey, John Clifford, Tony Cresswell, Nigel daniels, Gary Fenn, Paul Mellor, Rob Needham, Steve Pashley, Peter Slater, Drew Smith, Dave Smith-Hayes, Reece Spurr, Men’s ‘B’:- Dave Allcock, Christian Bradshaw, Richard Hanson, Steve Homer, Paul Jones, Colin Rich, Tim Rippon, Darran Sinfield, Rob Smith, Alan Statham, Doug Walker, Rob Wood, Reserves:- Jim Beardmore, Ian Hannah, Antony Palfreyman, Richard Rawding, Michael Smith, Lee Stanley, Women’s ‘A’:- Rachel Ayres, Jane Densley, Kirsty Handford, Joanne Oldershaw, Louise Rawson, Jackie Sweet, Women’s ‘B’:- Stephanie Allerton, Rachel Bird, Kelly Dean, Dee Fenn, Sara Harrison, Michelle Phillips, Reserves:- Sonia Bracken, Dawn Buckley, Kerri Buckley, Nicola Fletcher, Lynda Gilbert, Janice Pearce, Donna Phillips, Sarah Quinn, Nicola Warne, Beverley Worthington.
