Owen: back in Vale action
Owen and Rob Taylor were both given a run out after recovering from injuries and joined fellow first-team squad members Kingsley James, Joe Davis, Ryan Burge, Sam Johnson, Ben Williamson and Ryan Lloyd in a strong Vale side.
Owen gave Vale the lead just before break following good work from James and Tom Morris. Ryan Lloyd had a chance to double Vale’s lead but the Mansfield keeper pulled off a good save.
