Stourbridge captain Ben Hughes is already looking forward to next season.

And with talented youngsters such as Peter White, Ashley Smith and Sam Baker gaining vital experience each week, who can blame him.

A run of just three wins in 11 games has heaped the pressure on the young Saxons but their skipper believes their pedigree will win through in the end.

He said: "When we play well there isn't a team who can defend against us. We may have lost against Coventry but we scored some good tries. It has been the same in other games.

"But there comes a time when you have to get a bit old school. Rugby is a simple game – a game of confrontation where you have to win your own bit and be prepared to fight.
