MALVERN are in action on Saturday when they entertain Whitchurch in their re-arranged North Midlands Cup semi-final (3pm).

The Spring Lane club were due to play the tie last weekend but the Shropshire side refused to play at the 11th hour.

"We now look forward with anticipation to the delayed semi-final against Whitchurch and hope for a big crowd to cheer Malvern through to the final," said director of rugby David Robins.

"Our lads know it won't be easy. Whitchurch have been playing in the equivalent Northern league, where the standard of rugby is reputedly harder, so we are under no illusions about the task ahead."

The other semi-final sees Herefordshire side Luctonians travel to Solihull.
