A BRACE from Charlotte Criddle earned Droitwich Spa the Worcestershire FA Women's Cup with a 2-1 final victory over Worcester United.

Worcester, unbeaten at the top of West Midlands League Division One South, went ahead in the first half at Bewdley Town.

But Criddle's first goal came from a free-kick from the edge of the area and was curled into the top corner with power leaving the keeper with no chance.

The second came from a corner which was cleared to the edge of the box and saw Criddle lob the United keeper who was already under pressure from incoming striker April Polden.

Manager Mark Solloway praised Spa for their outstanding performance and captain Sammie Shail said: "Every player did their job and collectively produced a superb team result we should all be proud of."

Spa are third in the same division as Worcester.
