Ryan McCourt opened the scoring with a cracking shot into the top right of the net. William Baker and Matthew Arnold added further goals before Ryan scored his second following a great Richard McGeown turn and cross before half time. Town were indebted to captain Ben Lucas who played his best game yet, including a wonder save at full stretch to prevent Rangers from scoring. In the second half there was more action at both ends and Sam Albrow, Billy Skinner and Tom Lucas were always busy, combating the threat of Elliot Farrall and the Rangers players. Despite some heroics in goal, Rangers' Andrew Richardson was unable to prevent two goals each from James Endall and McGeown, plus one from MoM Max Galla as Town stepped up the pressure.

Catshill U10s 0 Hanbury U10s 3. Credit must go to a solid Hanbury defence and excellent goalkeeping for another clean sheet. The deadlock was broken in the first half when the manager's player of the match James Chaffe scored from a well delivered corner. The game was sealed by two solo goals from Hanbury MoM Lewis Smith.

Droitwich Spa Eagles U15s 9 Wyvern United U15s 1. A strong defensive display helped Eagles to a convincing win.

This game could have gone either way but midway through the second half Hanbury's Tom Eaves had a fine shot saved which John Walsh followed up to hammer the ball into the back of the net. There was more to come with Chris Rollings pulling off a fine save to deny Bromsgrove in the final minutes. Hanbury MoM was Matthew Cartmel, who was outstanding in defence.

Sports Co A U13s 4 Hanbury U13s 0. Hanbury's poor run continued with a lacklustre performance against fellow Division Two strugglers Sports Co A. Early substitutes Manvir Gill and Jon Hunt tried hard to raise the tempo from midfield but Hanbury were unable to gain the upper hand as the home side's confidence grew. Late substitute Shane Gallagher saw a well struck free kick hit the bar which summed up Hanbury's day. Karl Hughes took MoM for solid play at centre back, without which the scoreline may have been far worse.

Bromsgrove Corinthians U12s 2 Hanbury U12s 3. This was a game with equal chances for both sides. Peter Jenvey opened his account for the Corinthians with Jon Bowe providing one of those exceptional goals from 25 yards.

Special mention for Ryan Gould and Scott Henbury for effort but MoM was awarded to Andy Court.

This local cup tie lived up to its expectations as a great all-round team performance from Swifts saw them into the next round of the league shield against opposition two divisions higher. Jay Hurley and MoM Matthew Wood sent Swifts 2-1 up at half time with two well taken goals. Sam Wright replied for Catshill. In the second half Swifts struck again early on from a Hurley wonder strike but Catshill stepped up the pace and scored two good goals from James Lund, the third an absolute screamer from 25 yards to put the game in the balance. Swifts skipper Karl Humpreys impressed at the back, as did Andrew Brindley and Luke Bowles, but it was Matthew Wood who smashed the winner into the top corner during the final minutes after a great run which sealed the win.

Bromsgrove Town U12s 0 Glebe Farm Colts U12s 4. Town took time to settle in this match of few chances and found themselves 0-3 down by half time. A more determined Town contested the second half.

Carl Corbett and Ben Kavenaugh gave disciplined performances at the heart of the Town defence while MoM Leigh O'Connell worked tirelessly in midfield.

Worcester Colts U13s 0 Bromsgrove Athletic U13s 2. Athletic started slowly but picked up momentum and were rewarded midway through the first half when MoM James Sheehy latched onto a defence-splitting ball from Matthew Hill to fire home a low shot into the corner of the net. The second half saw Athletic take control of the game and they were unlucky not to have a further half dozen goals, hitting the woodwork three times. However, they had to settle for only one more when a neat move between Donato Casamassa and Joe Naughton resulted in Joe finding the net. Strong performances from Daniel Knight and Casamassa helped to secure the points.

AC Northfield 4 Bromsgrove Town Belles 1. A depleted Belles team matched Northfield throughout the first half and took the lead through a close range effort from Danielle Farmer. Northfield equalised just before the break and took an early second half lead when a wicked bounce on a terrible pitch bounced over the Belles keeper. Northfield made it three with a well taken effort before the Belles started to fight back. A disallowed goal and a well saved penalty by Northfield's keeper meant that it was not to be Belles' afternoon. A fourth goal for Northfield towards the end left a flattering scoreline for the home side.

Hanbury U15s 12 Headless Cross U15s 1. Hanbury maintained their 100 per cent league record with a comprehensive victory over Cross, scoring six in each half, before conceding an unnecessary consolation at the close. Scorers were Dean Palmer (five), Lester Drysdale (four) and one each for Danny Wakelam, Alex Glover and Chris Peirce. Danny Wagstaff won MoM for his mastery of midfield in a convincing performance.

Holy Name U9s 4 Bromsgrove Town Boys U9s 7. Town returned to winning ways with an outstanding first half display in the second round of the League Shield. Passing, touch, movement and finishing were displayed by the whole team, and with Matthew Brunt once again outstanding by his bravery in goal, Bromsgrove were 6-0 up by half-time. Dan Jones slid home the opening goal. A few minutes later MoM Chris Rudge's corner was bundled over the line by James Ward for number two. Connor Wilson finished off a tremendous move for the third. Lee Grove picked up the ball from a poor goal kick and immediately returned the ball over the retreating keeper and into the net. On 25 minutes Wilson added another as he converted a Rudge corner. Just before half time, Grove's speculative cross beat everyone. Coach Darren Ward changed things round for the second half. This, along with an early reply for HN, gave the home side encouragement, although Rudge returned the gap to six with a superb strike from outside the box. HN got three goals in a ten minute period until Brighton, Clarke and Ward returned to shore up the defence. Bromsgrove dominated the final ten minutes and go forward to the last 16 for the first time.

Knowle A U14s 7 Hanbury U14s 4. Knowle completely dominated the first half, scoring four goals. The second half was a different story with some great football from both sides. With only five minutes gone Hanbury got three goals back through Aaran Sanders and two from Jordan Taylor. With Hanbury threatening to win the game, they went further behind when the referee gave a penalty. Simon Thompson pulled another back, but the home side scored two more in the last two minutes to end an exciting second half.

Droitwich Darts U10s 1 Kidderminster Lions Youth U10s 2. Darts lost their unbeaten start to the season to a determined Lions team. Darts took the lead with Ben Brogan provided Joe Hogg with a tap-in.

Jack Stephens' clever foot work and James Thomas' good running gave Darts chances, and Luke Duggans' long range shot was matched with a fine save.

Arden Forest U11s 1 Catshill Warriors U11s 4. Thanks to excellent defending by Miles Dolphin, Nick Hewston and keeper/MoM Sam Hardman-Smith, the game remained goal less at half time. In the second half Nick Ingram reverted to his normal centre forward position and eventually broke the deadlock after strong running. However, Arden equalised shortly after. Ingram was in tremendous form and went on to score all four goals, which made the scoreline look flattering from Catshill's point of view.

Bromsgrove Town A U10s 2 Callowbrook Swifts U10s B 1. This vast improvement from Swifts wasn't quite enough as Town sealed their hard earned victory six minutes from time thanks to a penalty. Bromsgrove hit the front first, only for battling Swifts to level through defender Sam Talbot with an unstoppable 20-yard drive. In the closing stages it was the visitors who looked more likely to pinch a winner when twice, Lloyd Sherrington had golden opportunities which were well saved. MoM was Harry Hay.

Callowbrook Swifts U10s A 3 Castlehurst Colts U10s 2. This was one of the best matches seen for many months at small-sided level. The visitors took the lead with a well taken goal after 15 minutes and it stayed that way until 16 minutes from the end when MoM Jack Wilson finally scrambled in an equaliser after sustained pressure. Parity didn't last long as Colts restored their lead immediately when a miss-hit clearance was punished. With a last throw of the dice, Swifts sent on Matty Reeves and to the manager's joy he outpaced his opponent to finish clinically.
