NORTH Midlands 16-Group Schools have made seven changes for their second county match of the season against Staffordshire at Peel Croft in Burton tomorrow night.

The changes follow a narrow 7-5 defeat by Notts, Lincs & Derbyshire in their opening match at Newark last week, a game in which four players had to be replaced because of injuries.

Centre Greg Fincher of RGS Worcester will take over the captaincy from hooker Alan Keylock of Nunnery Wood School, Worcester, who is among the ten replacements.
