After gaining promotion from division three last season in the UKDA National League, Black Country lost their opener away to West of England 20-16 but they were quick to recover as in the second fixture at home against Norfolk they won 19-17. They will be hoping to add to that win this coming weekend when they travel to take on Gloucestershire who finished as runners-up behind them last season. The fixture will be staged at the Wooton Hall Club, 138 Barnwood Road, Gloucester, GL4 3JS.
After completing the opening two fixtures Black Country are sixth in the table with 38 points and their hosts next to bottom on 34 points, should be quite a tight game.
