BROMSGROVE Sporting's incredible home form continued with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Kettering Town.
Goals from Luke Benbow, James Sanderson and Tom Edge made it six games unbeaten at the UK Electrical Stadium as the Poppies failed to land a glove on the Rouslers in the Southern League Premier Division Central clash.
The deadlock was broken 11 minutes in as the energetic Billy Shaw found Benbow in the area and he saw his shot find the bottom corner via the palm of goalkeeper Jason Alexander.
The Kettering keeper would win his next battle with Benbow though, saving a penalty well after the Sporting striker was brought down on the edge of the area.
The final opportunity of the half saw Kettering's Callum Powell have a shot easily saved by Sporting stopper Rory Brown.
Wes York had a 53rd-minute strike saved superbly by Brown and two minutes later Sporting doubled their lead as Sanderson bagged on the rebound from close range after Edge put a cracking ball into the box.
Brown was called into action once again in the 62nd minute, producing a top stop to keep out a Connor Stanley effort before tipping over an 83rd-minute header from former Rousler George Forsyth.
The scoring was complete with one minute of normal time remaining as Edge caught Alexander off guard and netted into an empty net from 35 yards watched by 560 fans.
It put Sporting back on track after a 3-0 loss at Banbury United in the league last week.
After Tuesday's home game with Quorn (7.45pm), Sporting visit AFC Sudbury on Saturday (3pm).
As a special Christmas offer, Bromsgrove have reduced the price of adult tickets to £10 for the game versus Stratford Town on Saturday, December 6. The same offer applies against Quorn.
The offer of free entry to all accompanied under 13s remains too.
Club director and deputy safety officer Rob McLaren said: "As a board, we wanted to recognise the excellent support we have and to give a little back, especially at this time of year.
“We feel this revised price, coupled with youngsters entering for free, offers good value, especially with the team in such good form at home.”
Meanwhile, Bromsgrove have signed left-back Jaden Charles who has previously played for the likes of Mansfield Town, York City, Hereford, Nuneaton Borough, Rushall Olympic and Stamford.
Defender Godfred Boakye, 19, has also joined from Birmingham City on loan until January 1.
