WORCESTER City slipped to seventh place in the Dr Martens League Premier Division after losing 3-2 at Bath City last night.

It was their first defeat in five matches and extended their miserable record against Bath, who have not lost to Worcester in their last eight meetings.

Strikers Mark Owen and Carl Tranter found the net for City, but they could not take advantage of an extra man for the last 25 minutes.

Former Worcester midfielder Jimmy Fraser was sent off for a second bookable offence.

John Barton's team remain six points behind new leaders Crawley Town who went top after a 2-2 draw at Dorchester last night. Previous leaders Welling crashed 5-0 at Margate.
