KIDDERMINSTER Harriers eased into the semi-final of the Worcestershire FA Senior Cup with a comfortable 5-1 win over Stourport Swifts at Aggborough last night.
Ian Foster led the goal spree with a brace while Drewe Broughton, Sam Shilton and Andy Ducros also got on the scoresheet.
Swifts consolation effort was scored by player-manager Tim Langford.
The match was over as a contest within the opening 32 minutes when Harriers were 4-0 ahead.
After the break they were foiled on a number of occasions by a Swifts side who were making their first appearance in the competition.
Broughton opened the scoring in the 22nd minute when he headed in a cross from Foster. Ducros then set up the next two goals, firstly on 28 minutes for Shilton and then a minute later for Foster.
Ducros made it 4-0 before Langford reduced the deficit with a cracking shot from the edge of the area. Foster scored his second on 87 minutes.
