Herefordshire Worcestershire Shropshire qualified for the 2024 European Inter Regional Championship as a result of our 2nd place in last year's County Championship. 

There are 16 teams in the competition, divided into 2 groups. Registration is now open for Round 3 of these matches where we face Emiglia Romagna. With both teams leading in their opening 2 rounds of matches, this looks to be the Group decider, with only one team progressing to the second stage where there is an all play all for the Group winners to decide the title. Qualification from the group stage also guarantees a place in the 2025 competition.
