THE Houghton Harries Shield continues tonight when Worcestershire and Herefordshire Under 19s host Greater Birmingham at Kings Norton's Hopwood ground (7.30).

Greater Birmingham launched their campaign with a 7-7 draw against Shropshire at Moseley last week.

The final match of the triangular competition will be between Shropshire and Worcestershire and Herefordshire at Telford Hornets next Wednesday.

The tournament is contested annually by the three domestic unions that make up the North Midlands RFU.

It gives under 19s players the chance to impress the North Midlands selectors for the following season's National Under 20s Championships.
