TRIALISTS Grant Pinkney, John Shirley and John Hodge will be given the chance to shine for Worcester City at Willenhall Town tonight (7.30).

The trio are set to be included in John Barton's side for the pre-season friendly but wingers Michael Blackwood and Jamie Edwards, who both impressed against Kidderminster Harriers at the weekend, are not available.

Edwards, who scored a spectacular goal against Harriers, is on trial at Exeter City this week, while Barton watched Blackwood play for Notts County at his former club Burton Albion last night but admits the youngster wants to stay in the Football League.

"Michael obviously wants to stay in the League so at the moment we are just covering our options," said Barton.

New signings David Foy (holiday) and Pat Lyons, who is taking his UEFA coaching badge as part of his job with Derby County, are not available tonight.

"David is not available for two weeks which is unfortunate but we knew about it, while Pat is back on Friday," added Barton.
