Stourport Ladies 4 Evesham 1

Stourport dominated from the hit-back and went ahead after just 10 minutes in the Worcestershire First Division through Malisa Kennedy.

She sped past two defenders and slipped the ball past the goalkeeper.

The lead was extended five minutes later through a deflected Katie Bailey shot following a short-corner.

And in the 28th minute Bailey was again involved, setting up Wilma Martin who tucked the ball past the keeper.

In the second half, Stourport continued to dominate but could not make their chances count until 10 minutes from time.

A strike from a short-corner was saved by the keeper only for Louise Bagnall to take the ball off her pads and lift it into the goal.

Bottom-of-the-table Evesham scored a deflected consolation goal.

Stourport will host Saturday's game with Old Silhillians who could not find a venue.

But despite her best efforts, Droitwich added two more goals.

Stourport had chances in the second half but Droitwich put the result beyond doubt.
