Before the weekend’s events the league stood with Hertfordshire at the top on 89 points, Lincolnshire 2nd on a close 85 and Nottinghamshire hanging on a thin wire of a Blade 4 dartboard on 84 points.
Lincolnshire played Hertfordshire while Nottinghamshire played 5th place Northamptonshire. Although

Day 2 and with the score standing at 10-8 to Nottinghamshire, we had to give it our all to defeat Division 2’s top A Squads. We had a solid A squad with Sara Faulkner and Nicola McNamara both smashing a 18+ Average but Helen Harvey took the Lady Of the Match with a 19.27 average. Ladies A won 5-1. The Men’s A really raised the bar with a 9-3 win. Paul Harvey started the mens matches off with a 3-0 win and an amazing 30.06 average, but Mick Pitchford stole the Man of the Match with an outstanding 34.16 average.

Nottinghamshire Vs Berkshire
Cream of the Crop, rise to the top!
Back on home turf and Nottinghamshire were ready to put the fighting effort back into the weekend match against Berkshire. Cracking the weekend off the Ladies B and they stormed this with a belting 4 – 2 win. Karen Staton, Julie Pipe and Maggie Bamford played some great darts but it was Eleanor Dunn taking Lady of the match with a 3-1 win and a 16.02 average.
With the Ladies giving the men a 4 – 2 lead it was most certainly going to be a win for both Nottinghamshire B sides as Jay Foreman (Men’s Captain and England International) had put a strong B side out. Lyndon Hextall made a debut for Nottinghamshire and though there was first time nerves on the Green Army stage managed to bag a 3-2 win. Some great games were played from the Men’s B, and Tom Allies a Regular A player took Man of Match with a 27.33 average. The Men B cracked an 8 – 4 win making it 12 – 6 to Nottinghamshire.
Although Nottinghamshire were on a flying start we knew it wouldn’t be easy on day 2 as both Berkshire ladies and Men have a good side, but it didn’t stop us Ladies A had a smashing start. Lesley Allick and Nicola McNamara played a fantastic game; Nicola won 3-2 and had a 20.22 average. However Helen Harvey (Ladies Captain) took the Lady of the Match with a 20.32 average making it another 4-2 for the woman and 16 – 8 to Nottinghamshire overall. With us only needing another 3 games to take win for the weekend, Nottinghamshire’s men needed to keep the ball rolling as Berkshires Men had a strong A squad. There was allot of great games but doubles were just letting us slip, however we got the 3 legs plus 3 more making it a 6 – 6 draw. Pete McConville took man of the match with a 32.67 average. Pete has played extremely well this season and we hope he keeps it up. Overall Nottinghamshire beat Berkshire 22 – 14.

The Game of 2 Halves
Our first away match of the 2011/2012 season and it wasn’t a bad start for Nottinghamshire.

Lady of the Match in the B was won again by Sara Faulkner winning 3-0 with an 18.11 average. Sara has come over leaps and bounds over the last few seasons and she earned a place in the A Squad on the Sunday.
In the Men’s B Jamie Gemmell and Darren Laydon debuted for Nottinghamshire and played well, Jamie although positive about his game just couldn’t get going. Unlucky Jamie your time will come.

Saturday end of play stood at 9-9.

Nottinghamshire Vs Somerset
Green Army Fight Back!
So it’s a brand new season for the Nottinghamshire Darts Squad and after the thrashing we got from the last match of last season, we needed to show division 2 we were back and mean business.
This weekend we met Somerset (coming down from Division 1) and we knew that this was going to be a hard match.
On the Saturday saw the B Squad of both sides play. It was a 3-3 result for the woman, and Sara Faulkner got Lady of the Match with a 15.97 average.
The Men’s B gave all they could and got a tidy 7-5 win, Dave McGarry getting the man of the match with a 23.52 average with Aden Kirk (Derby) making his Nottinghamshire debut close behind on a 23.50 average. Aden played a fantastic game bringing it back from 2-0 down to win the game 3-2. Not letting the pressure get to him he checked out on 112. Making a comeback this season Pete McConville als0 had a blinding game with a 3-0 win and a 12 dart leg.
On the Sunday the scores stood at 10-8 to Nottinghamshire and we knew that we had our work cut out against Somerset. The Ladies A lost 5-1 with Kelly Stevens taking Lady of the Match with a 16.16 average. It could have been a better score for Nottinghamshire Ladies but “double trouble” got the better of them!
In the Men’s A they had an amazing 12-0 win. It was a great start with England International Jay Foreman grabbing an outstanding 30.67 and a 3-0 win. However Paul Harvey (Nottingham) took the Man of the Match with a fantastic 3-0 win and a 31.31 average.
Overall score for the weekend Nottinghamshire 23 – Somerset 13.
