THERE has been little to cheer about at St George’s Lane in recent months but Worcester City are beginning to redress the balance.

After ending their nine-game losing run with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Oxford City on Easter Monday, Carl Heeley’s side made it back-to-back wins on home soil with this comfortable despatching of Hinckley United.

They scored three goals through Ethan Moore, Mike Symons and Matt Breeze but could have racked up a cricket score.

Time and again they cut through a disorganised Hinckley outfit who looked every bit a team who had long since been relegated.

The Knitters’ consolation, through Theo Brown’s free-kick with the final action of the match, was scarcely deserved.

It was the only blot on Worcester’s copybook in an otherwise solid performance that, if nothing else, will have put a smile on fans’ faces ahead of what is sure to be an emotionally draining last-ever game at the 108-year-old ground against Chester on April 27.

With that milestone looming, there seemed to be a distinct desire to entertain the healthy crowd of 828 and see the old place out in style — and why not?

City aren’t playing for anything in terms of league position so there was every reason to take the shackles off and have a go.

Moore’s goal was a superb individual effort, collecting the ball from Tyler Weir on the left mid-way inside the Hinckley half and driving towards the box before executing a measured finish beyond Ashley Timms.

Symons’ 14th of the campaign was rather less pleasing on the eye, netted from the edge of the six yard box following Moore’s knock-down, but no less than the hosts deserved.

Breeze also got in on the act after the break with a well-timed glancing header from Kieron Morris’ left-wing corner for just his second league goal of the season.

More could, and perhaps, should have followed with Symons forcing Timms to tip over in the second-half, while Morris and Moore both had good chances in the first period.

But Tom Thorley was the most unfortunate as, with City already three goals to the good, he saw his curling free-kick rattle the frame of the goal and cleared to safety.

With Moore bursting forward at every opportunity and former Aston Villa speedster Danny Williams doing likewise after coming on as a late substitute, there was also a glimpse as to what the future might hold for City — on the pitch at least.

By the end, the Lane began to feel like it had earlier in the season when Worcester were sweeping all before them.

Which is perfect timing as they prepare for one last hurrah.
