There is a game tonight, between a Moseley 'development' squad and a North Midlands team (made up from 'adults' and some of the U20s). Kick off is 7.30pm.
Not sure what the Moseley squad is - except that some of the Colts are included.

Match Fitness – 1st XV Squad training match
On Monday night a training match was put together for the 1st XV squad that either didn’t play last weekend against Plymouth or had little game time during the fixture. Also included were 1st team squad members currently out on loan at clubs such as Stourbridge and Coventry.
The ‘match’ wasn’t ‘advertised’ as it was part of the planned training sessions for this week allowing the coaching team to assess the entire squad with the 5 remaining play-off games in mind. For the same reason the traditional inclusion of promising local players in Moseley Development teams were also largely absent.
Our thanks to the North Mids RFU for putting out an U21 side (largely involving the Under 20s side that played in the U20 County Championship plus a few more senior players) to ensure a good work out.
Whilst the gaining of match fitness was more important than the result it was actually won by Moseley 36-7 with tries from James Tyas, Billy Robinson, Anton O’Donnell, Craig Lee, Mathew Lowcock and Callum Macburnie (3 converted by Jamie Hearn).
In addition to the points scorers the following 1st XV squad members also took part Mike Gillick, Jack Adams, Ryan De La Harpe, Richard Stott, Dan Sanderson, Mike Maltman, Ben Pons, Colin Quigley.
Looks as though most of the squad aquitted themselves pretty well. Is there any feed back as to whether anyone out on loan or not in the 1st XV starting squad recently, impressed enough to get themselves back in the squad, although the way the lads are playing at the moment they will have had to play very well to get in?
