After suffering relegation from the Championship division of the UKDA National League last season West Midlands have not found their start to life in division one any easier as in their opener away to Leicestershire they returned on the wrong side of a 19-17 result. Fixture number two this weekend is a home tie against Worcestershire who following their first game at home against Somerset are riding high at the top of the table on 24 points after a 21-15 victory. With West Midlands currently just two places off the foot of the table with 17 points taking on the divisional leaders will once again be a trying time for them but an early win in the season is what they require to restore some form of confidence.
