ALCESTER clinched promotion without even playing on Saturday and director of rugby Tom Burgess, pictured, is confident his players are good enough to wrap up the title as they head to current Counties Two Midlands West (South) leaders Manor Park this weekend.
The Kings Coughton side needed a point from their match with visitors Tenbury to seal promotion but ended up with a maximum five points after their opponents were unable to raise a side, leaving Burgess with mixed emotions.
The Alcester chief, pictured, said: “We’re delighted to be going up, it’s been a long season, but frustrated on how the day has panned put. Everyone was raring to go and we trained well on Thursday.
