Bromsgrove Sporting cruised into the final of the Worcestershire Senior Cup on Monday evening, courtesy of a 6-0 drubbing of Evesham United.

The goals were shared equally between both halves, with a Richard Gregory penalty, a Mikey Taylor shot and a Charlie Dowd header giving the Rouslers a three goal lead at the interval, before Dowd completed his hat trick and Shaquille McDonald converted from close range in the second half.

The opening 15 minutes were somewhat cagey, but Sporting swiftly grew into the half, as Greg Mills had a free kick blocked before Harry Higginson headed over at the far post.

The 23rd minute saw both Mikey Taylor and Jack Wilson have shots blocked in quick succession, but the opener would come just two minutes later.

Tom Chamberlain was adjudged to have brought down Josh Quaynor in the area, resulting in Gregory hammering the penalty home with venom.

The 36th minute saw the second, as a cracking Kieren Westwood through ball found Taylor inside the box, who held off his defender before slotting into the bottom corner.

The three goal advantage was established two minutes after, as a shot from Mills found the head of Dowd, who guided the ball home with power.

The fourth goal came six minutes into the second half; a Mills cross fell at Dowd's feet - he took a touch to compose himself, before finding the bottom corner with a left footed shot from close range.

Liam Spink had a half volley that hit the post midway through the half, while Daniele Bragoli and Paul Sullivan both had efforts on target that did not trouble Sporting stopper Max Beardmore in the slightest.

Dowd completed his hat trick 13 minutes from time, as his shot from over 20 yards out stayed low and made its way past keeper Lochlan Robertson's palm.

Quaynor and substitute McDonald both hit the ball over the bar with a little over 10 minutes remaining, but the latter would complete the scoring moments later, as Westwood passed to Will Shorrock, who subsequently found McDonald inside the six yard box, with the outcome being the ball getting smashed into the net.

From the Evesham Journal Website:

EVESHAM United's bid for a Worcestershire FA Senior Cup shock semi-final result turned into a nightmare.

The Robins were hammered 6-0 by clinical higher-ranked side Bromsgrove Sporting at the Jubilee Stadium on Monday night. Sporting showed why they had reached the top of Southern League Premier Division Central with a powerful display.

Carl Abbott's Evesham side had picked up their first win of 2020 with Saturday's 5-3 success at Mangotsfield United in Division One South. But the county cup contest proved a step too far for the Robins who now host play-off rivals Melksham Town in the league on Saturday (3pm).

The hosts started in promising fashion as Matt Dodd was just beaten to a Kai Tonge flick by the keeper. But Sporting grew into the game and a close-range Harry Higginson header went over. Then the visitors were awarded a penalty on 25 minutes for Tom Chamberlain's foul on Josh Quaynor and forward Richard Gregory made no mistake.

A smart finish from inside the area by Mikey Taylor made it two on 36 minutes and a headed goal was quickly added through Charlie Dowd. Lee Chilton shot wide from an angle after being played through by Brian Smikle as Evesham looked to pull a goal back before the break.

But another clinical response from Sporting made it four six minutes into the second period after the Robins failed to clear with Dowd on target. Sporting's Liam Spink struck the post with a volley after a triple substitution for the home side.

But Dodd had to come off injured 15 minutes from time for Evesham, leaving them with 10 men. And Bromsgrove took advantage with a 25-yarder into the bottom corner on 77 minutes to seal Dowd's hat-trick followed by a Shaquille Mcdonald tap-in four minutes later to complete the scoring.

The Jubilee Stadium will host the final on Thursday, April 16.
