MARK Moss was on target for Stourport Firsts in their English Hockey League Men's Cup second round clash at home to Doncaster.

However, the away side were too strong and ran out 5-1 winners to progress to round three.

Stourport Men's Fourths enjoyed a 3-0 home victory over local rivals Worcester Fifths.

Stourport dominated possession and in the first 15 minutes had numerous attacks on the Worcester goal.

At half-time, Stourport were deservedly in front through Neil Thomas.

In the second-half, as Worcester pushed forwards, holes started to appear in their own defence, which were exploited to good effect by Dave Potter to further extend Stourport's lead.

A final goal from Gareth Humphries through a short corner capped off a fine team display.

The women's firsts made a flying start to their Midland B' Division season with a 6-3 victory over Bournville. Stourport started well, keeping the ball and putting pressure on the visitors' defence.

Kate Fletcher pulled the ball back to the penalty spot for Liz Cooke to open the scoring.

A Bournville player then illegally stopped the ball on the line, leaving Fran Moss to convert the penalty flick.

After 20 minutes Cooke scored her second to make it 3-0. Bournville were still in the match and pulled a goal back, but Sarah Cavendish struck to make it 4-1 from open play.

Holly Lashford added a fifth from a short corner before the break.

The second-half followed a similar pattern to the first as Cooke completed her hattrick. Bournville hit back with two late goals.

The women's seconds were beaten 1-0 by Bournville seconds in Worcestershire Division One.

Fran Baron was Stourport's player-of-the-match.

In Worcestershire Division Two, Stourport Women's Thirds put in a positive performance against hosts Ludlow.

Playing on a very sandy pitch, Stourport found themselves under pressure in the opening minutes and were soon a goal behind.

After 15 minutes, Stourport were back on level terms when Dani Turley slipped the ball past the keeper.

Teresa Moss then deflected a Kathy Doyle cross in to give Stourport the lead.

Ten minutes later, Ellie Rogers made it 3-1 with a shot from wide right. The visitors made it 4-1 with a short corner, which was touched in by Spencer.

Ludlow scored a consolation goal, but Stourport hung on to win 4-2.

The women's fourths claimed three Worcestershire Division Three points without hitting a ball as their hosts Cresconians seconds were unable to muster a full squad.

Under league rules, the Wyre Forest side were awarded a 3-0 victory.
