Match Preview

Birmingham Civil Service have start their competitive season with a cup game away to Aldridge.

Civil, who made it to the cup semi-final last year, will be looking to go all the way this season; however, they know tough opposition stand in their way in the first round! Aldridge who were winners of the plate competition last year overcame Stourport in the Preliminary round last week with a 31-10 victory.

With a few regular 1XV player unavailable this week, it will give an opportunity for others to step-up.

Pre-season saw both teams meet before knowing about the potential cup tie, with Civil coming away as victors on that day, it will be an interesting encounter with the stakes a lot higher this time around!

Kick off is at 2:30pm at Aldridge RFC, Little Hardwick Road, WS9 0SH
