Bewdley Town progressed to the quarter-finals with a hard-fought 5-3 victory over Littleton.

They took an early lead in the wet and windy conditions when Paul Matthews finished clinically after a fine move.

Littleton equalised five minutes later but Bewdley restored their lead with a Steve Mares drive from 18 yards.

Again Littleton drew level, when Adrian Hipkins was unable to collect a shot and the forward pounced to finish from close range.

Littleton went ahead on the stroke of half-time but Bewdley dominated the second half and scored three times.

Paul Field claimed the equaliser from a corner, Gary Middleton grabbed a header from Field's corner and Gavin Smith scored a penalty.
