Marvellous Onabirekhanlen was named on the bench as Worcester City made the trip to the Sports Ground and took on Lye Town on Saturday afternoon.

The match got off to a swift start as City took the lead in the opening stages with Dylan Hart putting his team ahead with a well-taken strike.

Sadly for Hart, he picked up an injury soon after and had to leave the pitch, with Marvellous taking his place in attack.

Marv went on to pick up a booking after just six-minutes of action, the referee not taking too kindly to a challenge on Lye stopper Ben Newey.

Lye went on to level the scores five-minutes before half-time as Joe Palmer got on the end of a Ben Billingham chip before putting the ball into the back of the net.

The home side went into the lead via Ryan Bridgewater (75') before Billingham's free-kick cemented the win in second-half stoppage time.
