Match Report | Programme
Two Bromsgrove hat-tricks from Will Tibbetts and Ricardo Richards help Sporting stun Stafford Town 8-0 in the FA Vase second qualifying round.

The Victoria Ground was the host to this spectacle on this warm autumn afternoon. It took the home side only 13 minutes to get their first goal thanks to a great run from James Johnson. He skipped past a Stafford defender a delivered the ball into the box, Ricardo Richards hit the ball on the half volley and it bounced up into the top left corner.

Three minutes later and Bromsgrove gained their second. A long diagonal ball from winger Jack Wilson found Ricardo Richards at the back post, he then placed the ball into the far corner with a header to make the score 2-0.

Richards was proving a menace to the Stafford defence and could have gained his hat-trick within the 17 minute mark, though his effort was hit just wide. But the Bromsgrove striker did get his third minutes later, a Jack Wilson cross again was the cause. Richards latched onto the end of the low hit cross to slide the ball under Stafford keeper, Barry Weston.

Stafford's start to the game went from bad to worse just before the half an hour mark when Chris Morris was shown his second yellow card of the game after making a comment to referee Dell Hill.Bromsgrove made the most of the sending off by again stepping up the pressure. Lewis Clarke headed just over from a corner and moments later Richards' powerful shot clipped the top on the cross bar in the final stages of the first half.

Sporting got their forth just before the break. Will Tibbetts baffled the final Stafford defender with his quick footwork to put him through on goal, he then fired the ball past the goalkeeper to put the home side up 4-0 at the half time mark.

Stafford emerged from the re-start a defeated team and within the first 5 minutes their defence completely switched off, allowing Richards to take the ball past Weston, but as he stretched for the ball he couldn't redirect it goal bound.

The combination of wingers Tibbetts and Wilson was a threat to Stafford all day. Tibbetts almost got his second goal of the game but his powerful shot hit the underside of the bar to keep the score at 4-0. Frustration started to kick in for ten man Stafford and they soon became nine when defender Chris McComisky was shown his second yellow card when he tried to lash out at James Johnson. It wasn't long before the home side got their fifth from yet again another long ball. Another assist from Jack Wilson whose cross found Tibbetts at the back post, an easy tap in for the Sporting winger made the score 5-0.

Stafford's only threatening effort came in the 71st minute. The Sporting defence switched off momentarily to put Burslem through on goal. Bedford did well to close down the angle and Burslem's shot hit the crossbar.

The six and seventh came minutes apart for Sporting. A poorly defended corner allowed an unmarked Poyner to tap in Bromsgrove's sixth.

The seventh came after some excellent play from the Rouslers. Wilson's cross to the far post found Richards who headed the ball back across the box to substitute Snape, he then tapped the ball into an open goal. Bromsgrove made it eight in the 82nd minute with Tibbetts getting his hat-trick. The Rouslers winger brought the ball under control and cut inside on to his left foot and fired the ball into the far corner of the net, giving Sporting an 8-0 win.

Stafford failed to turn up today, not being able to deal with the home sides long balls was their main downfall and as soon as they became ten their heads dropped and they looked like a defeated side. Bromsgrove are on a good run of form and will be looking to take this back into the league when they play Bolehall Swifts next Saturday. A fantastic performance from the Rouslers in this FA Vase qualifying match and they will now progress into the first round of the competition, the draw will be announced on Monday.

Ricardo Richards and Will Tibbetts were not the only players to get a hat-trick today. Sporting winger Jack Wilson also got a hat-trick of assist in todays 8-0 win.
