NORTH Midlands are guaranteed a club in the semi-finals of this season's Powergen Junior Vase after Solihull and Worcester Wanderers were paired in the quarter-final draw.

The Midlands Four West (South) rivals have already met once in the league this season, with Solihull winning 18-6 at Sixways, and they will meet again on February 12.

Wanderers reached the last eight by defeating Avonmouth Old Boys from Bristol 13-8 at Sixways.

They will be attempting to emulate Malvern, the only North Midlands club to win the competition, when they defeated Old Hamptonians in 1994.

Meanwhile, the England women's team have named two Worcester players for their Six Nations clash with Wales next month.

Wing Kim Shaylor and scrum-half Jo Yapp have been included in the England side for the match at Cardiff Arms Park on February 4.
