After losing their opening fixture at home against Cornwall in the Premier Division of the UKDA National League Warwickshire County Darts Organisation will be hoping to chalk up their first win of the new campaign this coming weekend but it will be no easy task as they travel to the Stubshaw Cross Labour Club, Walter Street, Wigan, WN4 8TP where they will take on reigning champions Lancashire who won last season’s fixture 23-13.
The home side will be looking to add to their opening 21-15 win away to Dorset but hoping to avoid a second consecutive defeat for Warwickshire will be

West Midlands
In division one of the UKDA National League the opening fixture between West Midlands and local rivals Black Country was postponed and both will play their first game of the season this coming weekend. West Midlands will travel to take on Clwyd at the Penyffordd Royal British Legion, Chester Road, Flintshire, CH4 0JZ. Similar to West Midlands Clwyd had their opening fixture at Middlesex postponed but have since played it and lost 23-13 so both teams will be looking for their first win of the season.
Black Country
Black Country have a home tie, they will be taking on Cleveland at the Allen’s Sports Bar, Newhall Street, Tipton, West Midlands, DY4 9HL. Cleveland are fresh off the back of a 20-16 home win over Leicestershire and will be looking to add to that but the hosts, who narrowly missed out on promotion last season will be hoping their home advantage will prove to be enough to see them get off the ground and record their first win of the new campaign.
