Match Highlights | Birmingham & Solihull 36–42 Berkswell & Balsall Birmingham & Solihull fell to a narrow 36–42 defeat against Berkswell & Balsall RFC — a game that felt within reach for large stretches. The Bees created opportunities, played with attacking ambition and had the contest in their hands. However, small margins and key moments proved decisive as the visitors edged ahead late on. Importantly, the squad still secured: • A losing bonus point • A try bonus point That’s two league points taken from a tight contest against the side currently sitting second. With five points earned the previous week against league leaders Barkers Butts RFC, the Bees have collected seven points from fixtures against the top two sides. There are lessons to take — particularly around closing games — but there is also tangible progress in how this group is competing at the top end of the table.
