The History of Malvern Town F.C. Cont…

200-mark, the team marched to the top of the table until the campaign was
declared null-and-void in March 2020 amidst the Covid-19 outbreak.

The 2020-21 season also saw them sitting deservedly at the top of the table when
the season was curtailed due to Covid-19. However, in May 2021, it was confirmed
that they would be promoted into the Premier Division.

They also enjoyed another exciting adventure in the FA Vase, beating higher level
Rothwell Corinthians and Sporting Khalsa along the way before narrowly losing out
at Congleton Town in the fourth round.

Adapting well to life at the higher level, they remained amongst the leading pack
throughout the season and ultimately just missed out on promotion by finishing
third.

With a number of new additions to the team and with Stephen Cleal becoming
co-manager alongside Lee Hooper, the 2022-23 campaign once more saw the team
flying high throughout the season on the pitch, whilst off the pitch crowds
continued to rise as they really captured the imagination of local people.

The season culminated with them finishing as runners-up before going to
Highworth Town and winning 4-1 in the Play-Off to take their place in Step 4, a
fantastic achievement.
