Worcester City vs Knowle FC - FA Cup

Worcester City, sitting second in their league and full of confidence from a strong run of form, were expected to have the edge over lower-league Knowle FC, and so it proved, though not without a fight. The first half passed with little to note as both sides cancelled each other out, with Worcester's star quality unable to find a breakthrough against a well-organised Knowle rearguard. The introduction of increased urgency after the break paid off when Liam Lockett found the decisive goal in the 75th minute, settling a game that had threatened to go to a replay. It was a professional, if unspectacular, follow-through from the home side, who progress in the FA Cup while Knowle can reflect on a battling display against superior opposition.
