MALVERN Town face the always difficult fixture away to Darlaston in the Express and Star Premier Division tomorrow (Saturday) with the match kicking-off at 2.45pm.

The home side have made an uncharacteristic poor start to the season, but will be buoyed by picking up a point against leaders Star last Saturday.

Matt Upton is missing for Town as he began a 35-day suspension last Monday, Nick Clayton, who along with Upton missed Tuesday's victory at Bromyard due to a short holiday, is still away tomorrow.

Clayton comes back into contention for Wednesday's (October 24) trip to Kington.

Otherwise Town boss Joey Rawle will be hoping his side can continue the form that has seen them pick up 16 points out of a possible 18 in an unbeaten six-match run.

Rawle will pick from the same squad as on Tuesday.

Malvern Town from: Alden, Higgins, Damore, Davies, Cotterill, Walker, Mogford, Brooks, Holmans, Thomas, Tipton, Slade, Hooper, Ward and Dugdale.

Town Reserves went down 1-3 to Chaddesley Corbett last Saturday in the Worcester Nursing Cup Round One.

Last Thursday the Town Under 18's continued their excellent start to the season, when a Dave Lawrence hat-trick accounted for Bromyard Town in a 3-0 win.

Next Tuesday (October 23), Town are at home to Ross Town in the HFA Youth Cup (7.30pm).
