Worcester City have beaten county rivals Bewdley Town in a pre-season friendly.

City outclassed their hosts at Ribbesford Meadow, scoring five unanswered goals in their latest warm-up match.

First-half goals from Reiss Taylor Randle and Liam Lockett were then added to in the second half by Dylan Hart, who curled a top-corner effort just after the restart. Hart then added a penalty, before Lockett rounded up the scoring with a well-taken free kick.

City move on to their first home fixture of their pre-season schedule when they welcome Malvern Town to Claines Lane on Tuesday evening for a 7.45pm kick off.

The Hillsiders lost their latest pre-season friendly, but can take plenty of positives from the game against Step 2 opponents Gloucester City.

Malvern lost the closely-contested game 1-0 but there could easily have been more goals after a busy start.

The first effort at goal came from Town’s Harry Clark in the fourth minute but it was straight at the keeper.

At the other end, Malvern’s trialist keeper did well to claw away a deft header from Wright before Matt Turner’s low strike was easily dealt with.

As Gloucester pressed, Malvern were able to get themselves out of a tight situation with calm and neat passing from the back.

An injury to Mark Magee forced him off on 25 minutes and Jack Watts took his place.

Some good play out wide on the right by Curtis Smith ended with his low ball across the face of goal just evading another Malvern trialist in the middle and then straight away at the other end, Carrick Hill did well to deny Wright who broke the offside trap.

The visitors took the lead ten minutes from the break when the ball was turned home from inside the area by Parker.

Chances at either end were at a premium as the second half went on. A towering header from Adam Sauntson from a corner went close and then Jack Watts rattled the crossbar.

Tickets to Worcester City’s clash with Malvern are £5, and free for Under 12s.

Raiders are also in action on Tuesday night. They host Halesowen Town at Sixways Stadium, kick off 7.45pm.
