DEAN Curtis grabbed a brace as rampant Bromsgrove Rovers strolled into the first qualifying round of the FA Cup with a 4-0 win over Bourne Sports at the Victoria Ground.
Curtis scored twice in the first-half to kill off any hopes that Bourne had of victory, before Chris Smith and man-of- the match Matt Johnson hit the back of the net in the second-half.
Rovers now face the victors of Newcastle Town or Buxton at home on Saturday, September 10.
Captain Steve Hillman set the tone for the home side, when goalkeeper Nick Hurst collected his powerful 25-yard shot in the eighth minute.
Rovers took the lead five minutes later after a slick move. Johnson got free down the right wing and curled in an excellent cross, which Curtis headed home at the far post.
Curtis though added Rovers' second on the stroke of half-time. Smith (74) and Johnson (86) completed the scoring.
