PERSHORE High School's Under-14s side produced its worst performance of the season when crashing out of the National Schools Cup in the fourth round.

A physical Bromsgrove side found themselves 3-0 ahead after half-an-hour and a missed penalty from Dane Aldington added to Pershore's first half misery.

Sam Hicks made it 3-1 soon after the restart before the woodwork twice came to Bromsgrove's rescue despite the losers being unable to produce the flowing football they had produced in earlier rounds.
