FERNHILL County Sports bounced back to winning ways backing a place in the Smedley Crooke Cup semi-finals with a 3-2 win at Alvechurch last night.

They found themselves a goal down in the 20th minute when a free kick was deflected past golkeeper Adie Hipkins.

Mid-way through the second half Sports were rewarded for their efforts when Danny Hilditch equalised.

The match went into extra-time with the visitors playing the better football and it was no surprise when they took the lead through Andy Crowther.

In the second-half of extra-time Sports introduced Alex Taffe, who scored a terrific goal to make it 3-1, but Alvechurch came straight back to make it 3-2, but Sports were able to run the clock down.
