The Lions second team couldn't break down a resilient Midlands defensive effort in the second half.
Similar to the home game against Midland, Souths fell behind early to 2 quick uncoverted tries. Souths rallied well to score a converted try but Midland crossed for 1 more unconverted try before the break.
Souths bossed the game for the second half, but only had a solitary penalty to show for all their hard work, eventually going down 10-15.
