Worcester Wolves’ flanker Sam Lewis says the younger players have stood up well this season and the squad is looking to build in their success over Harlequins.

Warriors’ 24-17 victory at Sixways was only their second victory of the Aviva Premiership season and Lewis says the challenge now is to back it up when they go to Gloucester on Saturday, 7 January.

Lewis feels the emergence of youngsters like hooker Jack Singleton and backs Perry Humphreys and Josh Adams means they have far more strength in depth in the squad this season.

A man whose wife spent 36 hours on a trolley after she had a stroke says staff in A&E are working under "horrendous" conditions.

A patients' watchdog body has called for an investigation after two people died after waiting for treatment in a corridor at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, although the deaths are not at the moment being linked to high demand in the hospital. 

The MP for Worcester is meeting the health secretary to ask for more funding for the hospital.

John Freeman, from Rushwick, believes the situation in Worcester is symptom of wider problems in the NHS.  

The trust running the hospital says high demand has "unfortunately led to patients waiting longer than we would aim for", but adds that all A&E patients continue to be seen and treated in order of clinical priority. 

Its statement says that the focus "continues to be on providing safe emergency care".

There will be nothing to stop disabled people enjoying Worcester's new £10.5m swimming pool at the Perdiswell leisure centre. The pool opens tomorrow.
