The Bees are back on the road this Saturday as Birmingham & Solihull travel to Claverdon RFC for the fifth fixture of the 2026/27 league campaign.

After opening the season with three consecutive victories over Lutterworth II, Bournville II and Bromsgrove II, the Bees suffered their first setback of the campaign last weekend, falling to a 24–12 defeat away at Woodrush.

Saturday provides an immediate opportunity to respond.

With three wins from the opening four fixtures, Birmingham & Solihull will be looking to rediscover their early-season momentum and return to winning ways against Claverdon.

Adam Trombley captains an 18-player squad for the encounter as the Bees look to put last weekend's disappointment behind them.
