The Midlands will then play Northampton Saints Academy at Broadstreet RFC on February 5 at 1pm in their final warm-up match before the Festival.

The squad will return to Bedford Modern School on February 12 for a further video analysis session and training ahead of the opening match in the Divisional Festival against London & SE at Broadstreet on Friday, February 17, at 2pm.

The Midlands second match in the Festival is against the North at Broadstreet on February 19, at 11am.
