| Match Summary |
Royal Marine Higham (18) is picked after just two reserve games and he helps break Birmingham, setting up Harris to run across the face of goal and angle in. Earlier Pickett hit a post and only Merrick’s agility kept the score down, although he misjudged Harris’s lob at the death. |
