REIGNING champions Redditch Borough booked their place in this season's Evesham Hospital Cup semi-finals following a 1-0 win at Malvern Town reserves.

Khurum Iqbal provided the only goal during second half exchanges to set up a clash with Inkberrrow in the final four as Borough bid to claim the trophy for a third season running.

Fairfield Villa, Feckenham and Alcester Town still remain in the other half of the draw.

Borough bosses will be praying the weather relents this week as they face a formidable fixture backlog.

Spokesman Julian Workman said: "We've still got a minimum 17 games to play, 16 of which are league fixtures."

Borough hope to get back up and running this Saturday with a trip to Coton Green followed by a long distance journey to Leicestershire side NFK Burbage on Wednesday.
