Stourbridge booked their place in the next round of the FA Youth Cup following a 4-1 victory over Redditch United at the War Memorial Athletic Ground on Monday night.

In front of a 200-plus crowd at the WMG, the visitors held their own in what was a cagey first 45 minutes of the tie under the floodlights.

But Stour imposed themselves in the second period, and took the lead when Sam Bowater curled a superb effort into the bottom corner of the net from 18 yards.

The hosts doubled their advantage when Tyler Smith finished from six yards after a mistake from the visitors' 'keeper trying to claim a hopeful cross into the box from the right hand side.

The visitors got themselves back into the tie at 2-1 with a superb 20 yard free-kick, but Harvey Williams immediately responded for the Glassboys to regain their two goal advantage.

Stour introduced 15 year-old Luke Fletcher as a second half substitute before Bowater sealed a comfortable 4-1 victory from the penalty spot in the closing stages.
