ALSO at Spring Lane on Saturday, Malvern's Third team take on Droitwich Second XV in a County Merit table clash.
Several seniors, playing to regain match fitness after injury and non-availability, will boost the Malvern side. Steve Cooper props, Jon Owen returns from overseas and Adrian Ruddock and John Martin both make comeback appearances. Wily ex-club captain Andy Ridley is in the back row and Beano White will busy himself at scrum half.
Skipper Mike Brannelly said: "The introduction of the merit table has given us something extra to play for at our level. Given our club's status, we are mainly playing other club's second teams, which stretches us and can only be good for our rugby."
