HOLDERS Bewdley Town FC are in their third Worcester Junior cup final in a row -- thanks to a wonder goal described by manager Craig Payton as "Rooney-esque"

Ben McCloughlan's screaming volley was enough to seal a 2-1 sem final win over Tenbury and set up a clash with Droitwich Spa in April.

Payton said: "He was about 30 yards out and it just flew in. It was Rooney-esque,

"Ben won our goal of the season last year and he's well on the way to doing it again with that."

Bewdley were forced to come from behind to secure victory after Ryan Morris headed home an Ashley Botwood corner to give Tenbury a 20th minute lead.

Lewis Pountney equalised on 26 minutes, prodding home from three yards after the Tenbury keeper fumbled a Mike Harris free-kick. McCloughlan's wonder goal came on 68 minutes when he latched onto a Hough flick to rifle in the winner.

Payton still has faith in his West Midlands League division one high-fliers to complete a league and cup double. They are in second place and visit bottom-club Wolverhampton United on Saturday, determined to close in on leaders Great Wyrley.

Goalkeeper Steve Thomas is nursing minor whiplash injuries from a car crash, so 16-year-old Andy Lacey will deputise between the sticks.
