North Midlands Under-18s produced a much-improved performance but still slipped to 28-12 defeat against Warwickshire in the second Super Sunday tournament of the season at Broadstreet today.
Hooker Matt Frost (Herefordshire) crossed for a first half try which was converted by fly-half Jack Hewitt of Worcestershire.
Number eight Callum Nicholls of Shropshire went over for an unconverted try after the break.
North Midlands complete their programme against opponents to be decided back at Broadstreet on December 17.
