Willenhall and Aston OE, the two relegated teams from Midland Division2 West (North), meet again in the first League fixture of the new season.
Willenhall won both encounters last season with a 12 points to 6 win away at Aston last September and a 19 points to 3 win in the final League match at Bognop Road in April.
Willenhall were relegated despite winning more games than two of the teams above them. The lack of try scoring and losing bonus points being their downfall
