BURLISH Olympic will be hoping to bounce when they play their second successive semi-final on Sunday.

They were dumped out of the League Knockout Cup at the last four stage, going down 4-1 at home to Worcester City last weekend.

Debbie Prescott scored their only goal with a cracking 25-yard free kick, with Karina Farr the player of the match.

Boss Dave Glass said: "We didn't play as well as we can but 4-1 flattered them to be honest. It's disappointing but at least we've got the chance to try and make up for it with a couple more semi-finals.

They travel to Headless Cross in the semi-final of the Hospital Cup on Sunday and bid for revenge against Worcester in the last four of the Wyvern Cup later this month.

Kidderminster Harriers Ladies suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to West Midlands Regional League leaders TNS despite taking an early lead.

Sam Rogers opened the scoring for Harriers on seven minutes when she blasted the ball into the net from 16 yards after a smart move.

But although Kidderminster had chances to extend her lead, they were pegged back by a Verity Farrall goal on 42 minutes.

And after coping with increasing second half pressure, Harriers succumbed to a sucker punch two minutes from time when Sarah Parton scored.

The result leaves TNS two points clear of second-placed West Bromwich Albion at the top with Harriers still third.

Their next game is at home to Cosford on Sunday April 17.

Football-loving local girls will be able to receive specialist coaching thanks to a cash donation from Severn Trent Telecoms.

Kidderminster Harriers Girls Centre of Excellence will be presented with a cheque for £1,000 at Harriers' League Two match with Buryat Aggborough on Saturday.

On top of the cash boost, Severn Trent Telecoms will also kit each of the girls out with training shirts and water bottles to keep them hydrated.

Marcos Hart, Severn Trent Telecoms manager said: "This initiative that will allow the girls to develop their skills whilst keeping fit and doing something they enjoy."

The Girls Centre of Excellence has been running for four years and two current members, Sophie LeGros and Abbey Lewis, are in the England U14 squad.

Coach Nick Griffiths said: "Hopefully we'll see some of these girls go onto play for the full England women's team and maybe even win a World Cup."
