PERSHORE Hockey Club's Men slumped to an 8-1 beating at home to West Brom in BodyKraft West Midlands League Division One.

West Brom scored inside the first minute and soon doubled the lead from a short corner.

A brief glimmer of hope was offered when a flowing move resulted in Chris Ridings’ neat finish.

However, from this point on, it was one-way traffic with West Brom running the game.

But Russell Scudamore and Joe Taylor impressed for Pershore.
