There were no surprises for their near neighbours, with Ludlow continuing in Midlands 2 West North, Clee Hill in Midlands 4 West North and Bishops Castle in Midlands 5 West North.
The regional governing body announced the composition of next season’s competition’s after refusing Melbourne’s appeal against relegation from Midland 1 West.
