REDDITCH Hockey Club player-manager Rob Allen is set to blood a couple of the club's talented youngsters as he uses the remaining fixtures to prepare for next season.

Centre back Jason Spyer should be available for Saturday's trip to lowly West Bromwich after returning from holiday.

The start time is to be confirmed. The Bromsgrove Road side were unable to arrange a friendly on Saturday after opponents Simba pulled out of the West Midlands One.
