Worcester (4-4-2)

7 Severn – Debutant rarely tested but looked secure when needed. Kicking slightly erratic to begin with but improved.

8 Minihan – Solid at the back and looked a threat going forward, overlapping well. Popped up in box to score the second goal with a fine finish.

7 Gudger- A quiet afternoon for the left-back as Corby rarely threatened down the wings but didn’t put a foot wrong.

7 Morris – Part of a fine defensive effort from City as for the most part Corby were restricted to no more than long-range shots.

7 Sharpe – Combined with Morris as City’s defence didn’t allow Corby a sniff all afternoon, comfortably dealing with everything in the air and on the ground.

6 Waldron – Didn’t quite have the same impact as Vincent on the right wing but a solid display all the same.

8 Vincent – Provided much of Worcester’s attacking spark from the right wing, pinpoint cross to play Hughes in for opening goal.

9 GATER – Fine display in the centre of the park capped by a goal that will live long in the memory and could have goal of the season wrapped up already.

7 Jackman – A calming influence alongside Gater showing good touch and his distribution was spot on for most of the game.

8 Hughes – Showed all his experience with a composed finish for the first goal before creating the second for Minihan. Was subbed at half-time.

6 Harrard – An afternoon where it didn’t quite happen for the striker, who struggled to make an impression before being subbed just before the hour.

Subs 7 Burton (for Hughes 45) – Introduced at half-time and held the ball up well, unlucky not to score with late shot saved.

7 Smith (for Harrard 58) – playing in a more advanced left midfield role and provided some good width as well as helping to steady the midfield.

6 Geddes (for Waldron 77) – Match was all but over as a contest before his introduction.
