Deta Hedman and Fallon Sherrock are among 11 players with perfect 8-0 records in Britsh Inter-Counties Championship Women’s A fixtures this season.

Hedman, the ladies world number one, and Sherrock have both won all eight of their matches so far this season, and are on a short list with nine other players to have also achieved the same feat this season.

Oxfordshire’s Hedman has a one-dart average of 24.14 after winning all eight of her Women’s A fixtures so far this season, while Sherrock has averaged 23.32 during her winning streak for Buckinghamshire.

Rhian Edwards (24.79) tops the averages list and also has a perfect eight wins from eight games while playing for Glamorgan, with Pembrokeshire’s Rhian Griffiths (22.50), Surrey’s Laura Turner (22.33) and Nikki Furse (22.04), of Cornwall, also on the short list.

Surrey’s Kerry Killick (20.83), Montgomery & Radnor’s Evonne Taylor (19.96), Bedfordshire’s Kerry King (18.87), Middlesex’s Margaret Sutton (18.60) and Shirley Castle (18.14), of Wiltshire, complete the list of 11 players to have won all eight of their Women’s A fixtures this season.

The final weekend of the 2016-17 BICC season takes place later this month on April 22-23, with the 11 players all hoping to finish the campaign with a perfect nine wins out of nine.

Jeff Smith continues climb up the BDO rankings with run to semi-finals in the Virginia Beach Classic

Canada’s Jeff Smith continued his push towards the top 32 in the BDO Men’s Rolling Rankings with a run to the semi-finals of the Virginia Beach Classic last weekend.

The former BDO World Championship finalist was the only player from the current top 40 to take part in the tournament over in North America, and picked up 12 ranking points for getting to the last four of the event.

Smith is now up to 38th place in the Men’s Rolling Rankings, and is now just 11 points adrift of Bradley Kirk and Jeffrey Sparidaans, who are tied in 31st spot.

Smith’s ranking points have mostly come from playing in tournaments in North America, with his appearances in the World Championship and World Masters the only events away from his home continent which he has picked up ranking points in.

Reigning BDO world champion Glen Durrant remains top of the pile on 420 points, a healthy 80 points clear of Jamie Hughes in second place.

Dutch Open champion Mark McGeeney, former world champion Scott Mitchell and Welsh ace Dean Reynolds complete the current top five.
