SAM Bowen makes his competitive debut for Evesham United tomorrow when they travel to Gresley Rovers in the Dr Martens League Western Division (3pm).

The former Worcester City striker missed the first two games of the campaign because of a suspension hanging over from last season.

While he provides more attacking options up front Paul Burton is doubtful with a rib injury and defender Paul West faces a late fitness test.

James Brown, who made his debut against Sutton Coldfield Town last Saturday, will be included on the bench along with Russell Parmenter.

Robins manager Phil Mullen is very pleased with the start his side has made to the season, taking six points from their first two games.

"We couldn't ask for any more," he said.

But Gresley will be a tough cookie to crack and Mullen added: "If we come away from there with something we will be more than pleased."

Evesham (from): Beattie, Smith, Pendleton, Powell, Rogers, West, Wolsey, McCartan, Taylor, Preedy, Roberts, Bowen, Parmenter, Shaw, Brown, Twine.
