WORCESTER Raiders continue to impress after running a side from three levels higher close in the Worcestershire FA Senior Cup quarter-finals.
Raiders and holders Church were level at 1-1 at full-time in last night's game hosted by Malvern Town on the new HDanywhere Community Stadium artificial pitch.
But the Southern League Premier Division Central side claimed a 4-2 victory in a penalty shoot-out.
Third-placed Raiders, who host AFC Bridgnorth on Saturday at their temporary Nunnery Wood Sports Complex base, are fourth in the West Midlands League Premier Division.
Church, who have appointed the club’s education programme director Dean Holtham as interim manager after Darren Byfield departed, are looking for a new boss.
Bromsgrove Sporting’s home quarter-final with Malvern tonight has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Bewdley Town are due to host Kidderminster Harriers in a rearranged tie in the competition at Ribbesford Meadows on Wednesday night (7.45pm).
There will be a pitch inspection on Wednesday at 3pm.
Harriers have appointed Paul Biggerstaff as their new commercial manager.
He previously worked in the commercial operation at Worcestershire County Cricket Club.
Littleton head to Bilston Town in the West Midlands League Premier Division on Wednesday night (7.45pm).
