After their narrow 21-17 defeat in Carlisle against Cumbria last weekend, East Midlands are lying in second place behind this week’s opponent Staffordshire.

With a 4 point gap to make up, East Midlands Senior Men will be looking for a bonus point win against Staffordshire this weekend. East Midlands need 4 tries for the bonus point with at least an 11 point difference on the score board at full time; should they manage this result then they should make the Division 2 Final of the Bill Beaumont County Championship at Twickenham.
