Darts News – A West Midlands round up by Alan Towe

In division two just one leg of average separates the top three teams Red Lion with a 6-3 home win over The Boot are in pole position with Erdington Arrows and The Fox hot on their heels with the same six points from four games.

Just three division two fixtures played in the Kings Norton League, one very vital one being the Kings Norton Ex Serviceman's Club versus Rubery RBL as prior to the fixture they were first and second in the table respectively.
The outcome of the game was a 5-2 win for Rubery to take them into pole position and almost certainly giving them the title as Kings Norton have now completed their programme and are two points behind Rubery, but third placed Grant Arms, who won 5-2 against Kings Heath are four points adrift of the leaders with two games still to play and mathematically could still steal the tile but to do that it would mean Rubery would have to lose their final game 6-1 to finish just one leg of average behind Grant.
The only other fixture was a lower division tie between Cotteridge Social and Billesley which saw Cotteridge win 4-3.

Just three division two fixtures played in the Kings Norton League, one very vital one being the Kings Norton Ex Serviceman's Club versus Rubery RBL as prior to the fixture they were first and second in the table respectively.
The outcome of the game was a 5-2 win for Rubery to take them into pole position and almost certainly giving them the title as Kings Norton have now completed their programme and are two points behind Rubery, but third placed Grant Arms, who won 5-2 against Kings Heath are four points adrift of the leaders with two games still to play and mathematically could still steal the tile but to do that it would mean Rubery would have to lose their final game 6-1 to finish just one leg of average behind Grant.
The only other fixture was a lower division tie between Cotteridge Social and Billesley which saw Cotteridge win 4-3.
