Worcester 2
Harriers 3

HARRIERS came from 2-0 down at half-time to power into the final of the Worcestershire Senior Cup at St George's Lane on Monday.

Goals for Rob Elvins and Alfie Carter left a Harriers side containing a mix of squad players and youth teamers with a mountain to climb but they staged a fight back after the break.

Manager Steve Burr handed starts to rookies Joe Hull and Jordan Jones and called on Darryl Knights, Robbie Matthews, Kyle Hadley amongst a gaggle of squad players.

But two goals in the first half left last season's finalists in serious danger of going out.

Knights pulled one back in the 53rd minute, before Lee Baker levelled the scores in the 59th minute with a left-foot long range thunderbolt.

Baker ensured Harriers recorded a double derby win over City in the space of eight day with a low 20-yard shot that beat keeper Jake Meredith in the 64th minute.

Harriers will now meet the winners of Halesowen and Stourbridge, who meet next Tuesday, in the final.
