THE annual league derby rugby matches between Upton and Bromyard have been denied as part of a new 'level transfer' system introduced by the RFU.
The old North Midlands Three has been scrapped and the North Midlands Two has been split into two divisions which has seen the teams separated.
Upton will now line up in North Midlands South One with King's Norton, Birmingham CS, Stourbridge Lions, Birmingham Exiles, Redditch, Cleobury Mortimer, Woodrush and Handsworth.
Bromyard will play in North Midlands South Two with Bredon Star, Tenbury, Chaddesley Corbett, Greyhound Clee Hill, Stourport and Dudley Wasps.
