Birmingham & Solihull completed their pre-season programme with a hard-fought 24–19 victory over Old Laurentians at Forshaw Heath Lane. The third and final warm-up fixture provided another valuable test for the squad, with a close contest giving the Bees one final opportunity to build match fitness, develop combinations and put their preparations into practice before competitive rugby begins. Following the 19–14 victory away at Kidderminster, another tight encounter was an ideal way to conclude the pre-season schedule. The highlights from Saturday's victory are available to watch now.
