WORCESTER Norton Ladies are away to newly promoted Luton, who are bottom of the Midland Premier Hockey League.

Worcester not only need to obtain three points but also improve their goal difference before their clash with top-of-the-table Charnwood Livingwell the following week.

Squad: Fiona Nash, Hannah Bourne, Sadie Lapper, Becky Handy, Sophie Wood, Kate Fletcher, Tina Evans, Elaine Shepperd, Becky Adams, Charlene Mason, Kate Draper, Amanda Smith, Jo Walker, Lucy Huddlestone.

Worcester seconds will be determined to keep up their winning run with their very young team in the higher ranks of Worcestershire Division One, when they are at home to Droitwich firsts at University College on Saturday at 3.30pm.

Worcester thirds are still without a win in Division One and will need to start getting points quickly if the season is not going to be a persistent struggle against relegation. This week they are away to Stourport 1sts.

The fourths, having gained their first points in Division 3 with their convincing 4-0 win over Droitwich thirds, will be looking to build when they visit Stourport thirds.

On Sunday at Nunnery Wood (12 noon) the Under 15 team will continue their defence of the national title when they entertain Whitchurch in their second round tie in the EHA Under 15 Cup, having had a convincing 7-0 win over Shrewsbury in round one.

Having had a bye in round one, the Under 18s with a total of eight Midlands players in the squad, open their round two campaign when they visit Barton-under-Needwood in Staffordshire in the EHA Under 18 Cup.
