It's another busy Saturday of rugby for Birmingham & Solihull, with the B&S Hornets joining forces with Woodrush II to take on Southam II.

Eight Hornets players will make the trip to Woodrush to form part of a combined squad, with the match kicking off at 1:30pm.

Fixtures like these are an important part of grassroots rugby, allowing clubs to work together to provide opportunities for players to get valuable game time, develop their rugby and enjoy competitive matches.

It's also another opportunity for our Hornets players to represent Birmingham & Solihull while building connections with neighbouring clubs.
