SATURDAY'S trip to Tiverton Town (3pm) cannot come soon enough for Bromsgrove Rovers' caretaker manager Duane Darby.

The Victoria Ground boss was seething after his side's 2-0 home British Gas Business Premier Division defeat against Corby Town last Saturday, which ended an eight-game unbeaten run.

Rovers failed to test Ian Nimmo, the midfielder who took over in goal, while Darby was sent to the stands for complaining after keeper Karl Lewis was sent off in the second-half.

Darby said: "I can't wait for the game to start after the performance last week. I am quite looking forward to it.

"It was as bad as you can get. We played an hour with the other team having an outfield player in goal and we didn't have a shot on goal.

"I am classing it as a one-off. We went eight games unbeaten and now we have got to go on another run."

Andy Jones, Chris Duggan (both hamstring), Richard Ball (knee), Kevin Banner (tendonitis), Justin Jackson (Achilles) and Chris Cotterill (shin) are doubts, while Sam Allsop is suspended.

Rovers won team of the year at the Bromsgrove District Council sports awards.

Banner was nominated in the senior male sports personality category but did not win.
