WORCESTER City Women reached the Herefordshire and Worcestershire FA Cup quarter-finals with a 3-0 victory over Headless Cross.

Frankie Hocking got the ball rolling with a 30-yard drive before Lou Holmes and Nicky Bond scored to set up a last-eight home tie with Ferndale next month.

Captain Vicky Andrews, who missed the match with an ankle injury, said: “All three goals were really good and it could have been more but it wasn’t a bad performance.

“We would like a cup run this year but the league is the main priority.”

Worcester return to West Midlands League Division One South action on Sunday when they host rivals Redditch United at Bilford Road (2pm).

Manager Paul Hennessey has a full squad to pick from as City look to put the pressure on leaders Leamington Lions.

Worcester City Reserves fell 6-2 against Mostyn Rangers, failing to build on their win the previous week.

A poor start saw them go three goals down early on but City began a fightback.

A fine free-kick from Amy Band put the hosts on the scoresheet and skipper Claire Jordan helped to weather the storm in goal.

In the second period, City began much brighter with Lauren Williams and Jessica Brunning working hard.

Rachel Fanthorpe closed the deficit after finishing off a good move but they could not find the equaliser.

But there was controversy when Mostyn scored a fourth with City claiming a foul on Jordan. The visitors counter-attacked to add two more.

Worcester, who have no game this weekend, could take heart from showing character.
