NORTH Midlands have been handed a tough home draw in the semi-finals of the Tetley's under-20 County Championships later this month.

The side, featuring Worcester's young stars Jon Higgins and Neil Mason, will entertain the winners of the Northern Group - Yorkshire - on April 29 at Bournbrook.

Fly-half Higgins and flanker Mason starred in Worcester Warriors' win at Weston-Super-Mare on Saturday and are being talked of potential first team stars of the future.

North Midlands, without Higgins and Mason, won through to the semis after a 33-16 victory over Cheshire at Bournbrook on Saturday.
