Battling the the elements and a dogged and youthful Dudley Kingswinford side, Lichfield enjoyed a comfortable 40-19 win to consolidate their return to Level 5 rugby.
In a fitting end to the club’s 150th anniversary year, Lichfield returned to winning ways against a stubborn Newark side to stay top heading into 2025.
Lichfield suffered a last gasp defeat as the final kick of the game saw them beaten in their final Papa John’s Cup pool match at Northampton Old Scouts.
