Telford 8 Bridgnorth 0
Telford's youngsters put in an outstanding performance to reach the final of the Shropshire FA Youth Challenge Cup as they swept aside Bridgnorth Town at Market Drayton Town, writes Les Frances.
Bridgnorth struggled to contain the impressive Ben Osie, who has recently signed senior forms at the New Bucks Head.
Osie led the attack impressively and Bridgnorth visibly relieved to see him leave the action on the hour. But his replacement, Ryan Bright, wasted no time making an impact as plundered a hat-trick.
The Bucks opened the scoring on 17 minutes when Osie burst down the right and his measured cross was met by another hat-trick hero, Tom Kenny.
Osie saw his neat chip come back off the post eight minutes later as Town defended well.
But Bridgnorth were undone twice in quick succession just before the break.
Dan Frances found the net with a fierce 12-yard volley and then Osie got on the scoresheet in first-half injury time, converting a Bungy Robinson cross to make it 3-0.
Osie again provided the assist for Kenny within a minute of the restart as he doubled his tally with a half -volley.
Kenny completed his hat-trick with a spot-kick six minutes later with a penalty after Osie had been brought down by the keeper.
Bright announced when he fired into an empty net from the edge of the area afterChad Corinaldi had been denied.
Bright then quickly added his second of the night and completed the scoring spree with a fine volley from a well-taken Kenny corner.
Bridgnorth's best efforts came from a header from Bill Capewell and a shot over the bar from Sam Owen after a fine run from his own half. Callum White also flashed a header marginally wide.
The Bucks will now take on Allscott in the final at Shrewsbury Town's Greenhous Meadow
