MARK Owen and Asa Charlton will be among the first teamers in action for Worcester City at Malvern Town tonight (7.45).

The two teams are competing in the second round of the Worcester Royal Infirmary Cup with West Midlands Premier Division Malvern currently in prime form.

City reserve manager Geoff Ashby will be without Dan Jones who is at Lilleshall for trials with the English Universities team but has Duncan Willetts, Paul Wyatt and Liam McDonald in his squad.

"Malvern are on a good run and have shot up their league and have done very well," said Ashby.

"I always look forward to these matches because I know most of the players and it will be a tough match."
