MALVERN Town's 100 per cent Midland Alliance record at the Langland Stadium ended with a 2-0 defeat to Tipton Town yesterday.

Defender Andy Chalmers left the action on 12 minutes with a thigh injury and the visitors took advantage.

Scott Voice swooped for two headed goals on 15 and 20 minutes respectively.

Mark Shepherd earlier missed a great chance but leaders Malvern struggled to get their act together throughout.

They could not force a late goal after Tipton were reduced to 10 men for a professional foul.

And experienced midfielder Darren Bullock joined the Malvern injury list with a hamstring problem.

Malvern were under the guidance of assistant boss Dave Oakley and scout Joe Rawle as Neil Hunt was on holiday.
