THE EBF’s Derbyshire Trophy indoor county championship programme kicks off on Sunday, October 29th, with the county’s A and B teams crossing swords at Stamford.
With southern section champions Lincolnshire having moved into the northern section following the introduction of North Essex to the southern half it should, on paper at least, strengthen the chances of Northants qualifying for the national final, as Lincs have tended to be their main title rivals in recent seasons.
Rest of the fixtures
A team: November 12, away to North Cambs (March IBC); December 3, away to Hunts (Huntingdon IBC); February 11, home to North Essex (Stamford IBC); February 18, home to Norfolk (Stamford IBC).
B team: November 19, away to Norfolk (Gallow IBC, Fakenham); November 26, away to North Essex (Turpins IBC, Saffron Walden); January 7, home to North Cambs (Peterborough & District); February 11, home to Hunts (Peterborough & District).
All matches start at 10.00am, with the exception of the B team’s match at Norfolk which starts at 11.00am.
