Another good win for the Rouslers who keep up the pressure on league leaders Brocton. Following Brocton's last gasp equaliser with Studley, the gap is now down to 2 points though the Staffordshire team do have 4 games in hand.
Both sides started quickly with Sporting getting their first chance with two minutes on the clock when Lewis Clarke's effort was parried by Alvis 'keeper Chris Woodward. The home team responded a couple of minutes later with midfielder Tommy Maguire's long range effort saved low by Sporting 'keeper Jake Bedford.
Mark Bellingham started the scoring on 12 minutes with a move started by Joe Cole who battled for the ball just inside Sporting's half, he passed to Sean Williams, who turned his marker inside out before passing to Sam Wilkinson out wide on the right, he beat two defenders before making a perfect cross to Mark Bellingham who headed hard and low. The Alvis keeper cleared the ball claiming it had not crossed the line but the referee's assistant indicated otherwise and Mr Pettiphor awarded the goal.
Sporting then attempted to keep maximum possession by moving the ball round well and as a result created a couple of decent chances that Darius Darkin just put over the bar and three minutes before the interval Danny Ludlow did the same.
Alvis's best chance came on 40 minutes when Christian Jordan should have done better when his shot scraped past Bedford's right hand post.
Amazingly there was some dissatisfaction with Sporting who were disappointed not to have done more in the half but they made amends with five minutes of the second half completed. Michael Quirke for Alvis was forced to concede a corner that Danny Ludlow put over where Lewis Clarke rose unmarked to head home for Bromsgrove's second.
Steve Evans has a reasonable chance for Alvis a minute later but that was really their last one of the match. With big striker Leon Kelly off injured they lacked a presence up front and really they should have pressurised Sporting more with the many back passes made to Jake Bedford.
The Rouslers third came on 73 minutes courtesy of a well-taken free-kick from Sean Williams that unluckily for Alvis took a slight deflection on it way into the net.
Lewis Clarke got his second and Sporting's 100th in all competitions for the season with another header, this time via a cross from Chris Duggan.
With one minute of normal time to go Alvis's legs began to look very tired as Sporting put their work on the training pitch to good use with a well-organised fifth goal from a Williams free kick that Sam Wilkinson nodded across the goal face to substitute Billy Russell who headed home just past Woodward who was unlucky not to get a hand to the ball before it beat him.
Finally a good interchange between Sean Williams and Brett Mander saw the full-back get in front of goal and easily tap home for his first goal in Sporting colours and the sixth for his team with two added minutes on the clock.
To be fair Alvis did not look as good as when they won at the Victoria Ground early in the season but Sporting took advantage and recorded their ninth consecutive win.
They now look forward to a league cup semi-final against Stafford Town next Saturday with the prospect of a final at Bescot Stadium.
