MIDFIELDER Tim Nicholls has been ruled out of Stourport Swifts' final four Dr Martens Western Division games with a broken toe.

Swifts boss Dave Titterton will also have to do without Leon Blake who is banned until the end of the season.

So young players are to get their chance again as the team head to Racing Club Warwick on Saturday and then entertain Evesham on Monday (7.45pm).

Last weekend's 2-1 home defeat to struggling Swindon Supermarine ended Swifts' unbeaten five-match run.

But Titterton was not displeased with his team who were only denied by the heroics of keeper Elliott Jackson.

The manager said: "Our approach play is getting better and better. It's starting to click."

Swifts expect striker Duncan Willetts, who made an impressive full debut at the weekend, to be fit, despite a knock to the knee.

He has taken the place of top scorer Richard Ball who completes a two-match ban.

Titterton added: "Duncan has had to be patient but he did very well leading the line with Andy Wright."

Rob Clarke is back in goal after John Danby, who made a good impact at Swifts, returned to Kidderminster Harriers.
