DEFENDING champions Worcestershire and Herefordshire will be without scrum-half Lee Douglas for the RLF North Midlands Championship rugby final against Shropshire at Stourbridge's Stourton Park ground tomorrow (7pm).
The Cinderford player, who is a fitness coach at the Worcester Academy, broke his nose playing for North Midlands against Lancashire in last Saturday's County Championship Cup tie at Moseley.
Worcestershire and Herefordshire have yet to decide who will take his place in the final.
Phil Orton, of Droitwich, returns to the second row because Nick Tisdale of Malvern played two games in as many days over the weekend for North Midlands.
