Worcester City FC Youth Roundup
We’re delighted to bring you the latest updates from our youth teams after another action-packed weekend of football.
U14 JPL A – County Cup Quarter-Final
Worcester City 3-2 Newtown Sports
City battled through tough conditions to secure a place in the County Cup semi-finals with a gritty 3-2 victory. The first half was scrappy, with the poor pitch making it difficult to play flowing football. After falling behind early, City struggled to break through, but a tactical shift in the second half paid off.
Increased pressure and direct play led to an equaliser as James pounced on a spilled shot from the Newtown keeper. City then took control, with composed finishes from Dexter and Amir putting them 3-1 up. A late deflected own goal made for a tense finish, but the boys held firm to claim a well-earned win.
Scorers: James, Dexter, Amir
Man of the Match: Whole team – a superb battling performance

Worcester City 2-4 Opponent
City started brightly and could have been a few goals up early on, but missed chances proved costly.
