The Bees return to Forshaw Heath Lane this Saturday as Birmingham & Solihull welcome Droitwich RFC for the latest round of the 2026/27 league campaign.

Following a hard-fought 28–12 victory away at Claverdon last weekend, Birmingham & Solihull will be looking to build on that performance and continue their positive start to the season.

The victory at Claverdon saw the Bees overcome challenging weather conditions to secure four tries and the maximum five league points, providing an important response to the previous weekend's defeat at Woodrush.

With four victories from the opening five league fixtures, attention now turns to another important test on home soil.

Adam Trombley captains an 18-player squad for Saturday's encounter.
