โ€œThe Vitality Blast block is one of the most exciting times of the summer,โ€ said Bears skipper Will Rhodes.

โ€œThe games come thick and fast, but weโ€™ve always got one eye on the local derby against the Rapids, which is such a special occasion with the extra silverware up for grabs.

โ€œOne of the best things about the Blast is the opportunity to play in-front of big crowds, and we always get such great support and backing from our Members and supporters at Edgbaston. Weโ€™re keeping fingers crossed and being very positive in hope that we can welcome everyone back safely in 2021 campaign.โ€
