Malvern Town v Hereford Lads Club: Saturday 22nd February 2020:
The Match Preview
So, this will be my first trip to Malvern Town since the ground has been upgraded and the visit of the Lads will be a stiff test for the Hillsiders. The teams shared six goals some weeks back in Hereford and all the goals were scored before the interval. Oli Price fired a brace and Adam Hockey scored the other for the hosts, whilst Kyonn Evans, Louis Loader and Matt Turner were successful for the guests. There were six cautions delivered during the match, four of them collected by Malvern.
I saw the Lads win 1-4 at Stonehouse earlier this season and Malvern win a dramatic FA Vase tie at GNP Sports, 2-4 after overtime and the images below are from those two contests.

Recent form has seen the Hillsiders beat Cheltenham Saracens 4-2 at home, then came the draw at Hereford Lads Club, before they completed a resounding 6-1 home win against Cirencester Town Development.
