MALVERN Town play host to struggling Tipton Town tomorrow (Saturday) kick-off 3pm.

Town will be missing Paul Ashby who injured an ankle in a Sunday fixture and is now likely to miss the rest of the season, whilst Sean Cotterill is also absent as his wife was due to provide an addition to the family on Thursday.

Adam Higgins and Andy Shepherd are also missing due to holiday.

Paul Dugdale faces a late fitness test on his injured ankle as does Chris Thomas, who is likely to have recovered from a trapped nerve in his back.

The young trio of Matt Upton, Pete Sollis and Dave Cannon are likely to retain their place in the squad as Town begin a run of home games that they hope will re assert their top five Banks's Brewery League Premier Division ambitions.

Malvern Town from: Sanders, Cannon, Davies, Damore, Whittal - Williams, Clayton, Sharma, Ward, Walker, Phillpotts, Slade, Upton, Sollis, Dugdale and Thomas.

Town reserves were officially without a fixture tomorrow (Saturday) but Sedglely White Lions were trying to arrange a home fixture at the time of going to press.
