Four North Midlands players have progressed to the second Midlands Under-20s assessment session at Derby on April 19.
Luctonians wing Rob Lester and scrum-half Will Blackmore, Loughborough Students hooker Jamie Harding and Birmingham Moseley lock Harry Dawson all impressed playing for North Midlands in their recent Under-20 County Championship programme.
The four were involved in an initial Midlands Under-20s assessment day at Derby last Sunday and made the cut for the second next week.
The squad will be reduced further before Midlands Under-20s play North Midlands at Bromsgrove on April 28 (3pm) in a warm-up for the England Counties Under-20s Divisional Weekend on May 10 and 11.
