13/03/14   by Paul Bolton

Hayden-Wright missed the defeats by Eastern Counties and East Midlands last month after he broke an ankle in the final warm-up match against Cheshire in January.

Hayden-Wright has now regained fitness and he has been named in the county squad for their third and final group match. Neither North Midlands nor NLD can progress to the quarter-finals as East Midlands and Eastern Counties have already secured the top two places in the pool.

North Midlands will be missing Matt Davies of Whitchurch, who is ill, and James Gunther of Worcester Wanderers who has work commitments but Bridgnorth tighthead Ryan Smeilus has been added to the squad.
