RUGBY rivals Hereford and Luctonians will meet in the quarter-finals of the North Midlands Cup on Saturday.

Hereford have home advantage for the tie against their higher-ranked neighbours with a trip to Malvern in the semi-finals the prize for the winners.

The other semi-final is between Whitchurch and Bromsgrove at Edgeley Park on a date to be agreed.

In the North Midlands Shield there are two quarter-final ties scheduled with Old Halesonians hosting Stourbridge Lions in a Black Country derby and Redditch entertaining Bishop's Castle.

The Old Griffinians Dixonians quarter-final has been delayed because Old Griffinians have a rearranged league game this weekend and a new date will also have to be found for the Solihull- Bromyard game because Solihull are at Twickenham on Saturday in the final of the Powergen Junior Vase.

In the semi-finals, Redditch or Bishop's Castle will have home advantage against either Solihull or Bromyard. Old Griffinians or Dixonians will be at home to Old Halesonians or Stourbridge Lions in the other semi-final.

The final of both the Cup and Plate will be played on May 8.

In a rearranged fixture, Kidderminster Carolians travel to Wolverhampton in Midlands Three West (North) on Saturday.
