LOUISE Holmes scored four goals as Worcester City Women thrashed Redditch United 8-2.

Hazel Adams also netted a hat-trick and April Seers completed City's highest tally in West Midlands League Division One South.

City even survived the last 15 minutes a player short after Vicky Watts turned her ankle when all substitutions had been made.

Paul Hennessey's side are now joint top of the table by virtue of alphabetical order after Hereford Phoenix slipped up 3-2 at Dudley United.

Skipper Vicky Andrews said: "We were the dominant side and it took us a while to break them down.

"It should have been double figures."

But defender Andrews was disappointed to concede two goals as it denied the team chance to go top on merit instead of being tied on a goal difference of plus nine.

Worcester travel to third-placed Headless Cross on Sunday (2pm).
