CHRIS Bow and Gavin Smith returned from suspension to play major roles in Bewdley Town's 4-0 West Midlands League Division South win over Malvern Town Reserves.

Bow took just four minutes to get off the mark, heading home after Chris Hough had flicked on Paul Field's corner.

Bewdley went two up on 28 minutes when Smith won a challenge in midfield and Jon Hardiman released Bow who made no mistake again.

The hosts began the second half as they finished the first with man-of-the-match Field involved in every move.

Bewdley added a third when keeper Ian Harvey's long drop kick was latched onto by Grant Gibbs who coolly rounded the keeper before firing home.

They wrapped up the game with 20 minutes remaining when a free-kick was expertly finished off with a Ben McCloughlan lob.

With Neil Turford in an unaccustomed sweeper position, playing behind John Lawley and Duncan Taylor, Bewdley never looked threatened.

Fixture, Saturday: Brintons Athletic v Bewdley Town (kick-off 1.45pm).

Squad: Harvey, Lawley, Taylor, Turford, Hough, McCloughlan, Hardiman, Field, Smith, Bow, Gibbs, Passey, Allsopp, Hyde, A Stewart, Ford, Harris, Bennett, Hopkins.
