EMMA Bowdler and Julie Freeman bagged three goals each on Sunday when Kidderminster Harriers Ladies beat Redditch United 8-2 to stay just above Headless Cross in West Midlands League Division One.

Harriers flew ahead in the 14th minute when Vicky Hyde's throw-in set up Bowdler who executed a dipping 20-yard volley.

Redditch equalised five minutes later but Vicky Roberts drove the Wyre Forest team ahead again straight from the re-start.

Bowdler added her second on 26 minutes direct from a corner but United battled back again with a goal before half-time.

Harriers ran away with the second half as Freeman fired her first in the 52nd minute and then found the net again from 10 yards.

Bowdler added a sixth on 64 minutes and then passed for Freeman to complete her hat-trick. Sam Rogers set up Hyde for the final goal.
