MATTHEW Barnes-Homer bagged a hat-trick as Kidderminster Harriers crushed neighbours Stourport Swifts 5-0 in the Worcestershire Senior Cup first round.
Physio Ian Foster, who won the Conference with Harriers as a player in 2000, was also on target along with assistant manager Neil Howarth.
Blue Square Premier Harriers scored all five goals in the first-half against their British Gas Business Division One Midlands visitors.
Howarth scrambled home a Simon Russell corner for the opener on five minutes after his initial header was blocked.
Foster pounced on an error from goalkeeper Craig Ladek to make it two on 18 minutes and Barnes-Homer buried Brian Smikle's pass 60 seconds later.
Barnes-Homer headed Russell's cross home in the 39th minute and then finished off Mark Creighton's through-ball moments before half-time.
Boss Mark Yates was replaced in midfield by Andy Ferrell at half-time but Harriers could not add to their tally in securing a semi-final clash at Worcester City.
