Kidderminster

KIDDERMINSTER Ladies suffered a 5-3 home reverse against Malvern despite taking the lead twice.

Goals from Kerry Venskus and captain Becky Weaver put Kidderminster on top on two occasions, but they couldn't hold on.

With midfielder Kay McDonald suffering a back injury and no substitutes, Kiddermister failed to contain Malvern.

And although player of the match Amy Grove scored a third it proved little more than a consolation.

Kidderminster will be boosted by the return of Lucy Hancock, who has been out with a knee injury for a year, when they host Cresconians at 11.30am on Saturday.
