Warwickshire look to hold on to top spot

THIS weekend, Warwickshire County Darts Organisation play their second of 11 fixtures in the Cosmo Darts Premier Division of the UKDA National League. Following their tremendous start to the season where they beat Cornwall 25-11 to go top of the table, they will now take on last season's third placed finishers Lancashire. Warwickshire have home advantage at the Hen Lane Social Club, Beacon Road, Coventry CV6 4DS and a win would surely consolidate their No.1 position.
