NORTH Midlands Under 18s have been forced to make four changes for the second match of their Midlands Championship campaign against East Midlands at Bedford Swifts tomorrow.

Wingers Alex Church (hamstring), centre James Malcolmson (thumb) and flanker Alex Ward (hamstring) were all injured during last Sunday's 30-12 win over Staffordshire .

They will be replaced by Frazer Higgins (Bromsgrove), Darren Day of Moseley and Aaron Adshead of Old Halesonians.

Craig Walker of Worcester will move from the wing to the centre to replace Malcolmson and to accommodate Day's inclusion.

The other change is in the second row where Adam Bowser of Stourbridge is replaced by Mark Carvill of Luctonians. Bowser, normally a loose-head prop, played out of position against Staffordshire because of a shortage of specialist locks.

North Midlands: Ross Rochelle (Yardley & District); Frazer Higgins (Bromsgrove), Craig Walker (Worcester), Christopher Abrahams (Bromsgrove), Darren Day (Moseley); David Roberts (Sutton Coldfield), Ed Nicholls (Dudley Kingswinford); Simon Clarke (Moseley), Adam Blackford (Dudley Kingswinford), Tom Livingston (Moseley), Mark Carvill (Luctonians), Richard Blaize (Moseley) James Hine (Moseley), Aaron Adshead (Old Halesonians), Daniel Grant (Old Halesonians). Replacements: Steve Blackburn (Old Halesonians), Steve McGrath (Yardley & District), Daniel Luczak (Sutton Coldfield), Dan Mason (Sutton Coldfield), Alan Fincham (Moseley), Matt Williams (Bromsgrove).
