SHARP-SHOOTER Emma Purslow took her season's tally to 19 goals by bagging a brace in Kidderminster Harriers Ladies 5-1 win over Headless Cross.

Vicky Roberts, Sam Rogers and Rachel Baldwin were also on target in the victory which keeps Kidderminster in third place in the West Midlands League.

They have now gone 10 games unbeaten and are six points behind league leaders West Bromwich Albion who they face away this Sunday.

Looking to avenge their 4-3 defeat to fourth-placed Cross earlier in the season, Harriers used the wind to their advantage in the first half.

Roberts opened the scoring from a tight angle on six minutes and headed another chance against the bar moments later.

The second came from Rogers on 33 minutes and her 20-yard drive was against the run of play after Harriers had soaked up long periods of pressure from Cross.

Harriers netted their third when Purslow fired home from eight yards on 66 minutes and scored again in the 78th minute with a clinical header at the back post. Cross grabbed a consolation goal when Mandy Ellicott scored a penalty on 81 minutes after a Vicky Hyde foul. But normal service was resumed with Baldwin met an Emma Jones cross to make it 5-1 four minutes from time.

There was also success for the reserves who bounced back from the previous weekend's walloping at Worcester by beating Headless Cross 1-0.

A Kirsty Roberts goal was the difference between the two teams with defender Tracey Evans the player of the match. Harriers reserves are without a fixture on Sunday.

Burlish Olympic Ladies put in a much-improved performance in the County League to draw 1-1 at Worcester City.

Having lost 4-2 to the same opponents in the cup the previous weekend Burlish were much better but manager Dave Glass is still concerned by their failure to create many chances.

Debbie Prescott put them in front midway through the first half, but Worcester levelled 20 minutes from time. Captain Val Lavery was the player of the match.

Burlish travel to Evesham on Sunday.
