Birch started strongly and it wasn't long before the opener came. The massively infuential David Bowles intercepting a pass and playing in Darren Stirrups who turned inside the defender and curled the ball past the keepers outstretched hands.
Despite dominating early a defensive mix up saw Radfall equalise on a counter attack. The club soon regained the lead when Martin Flaig's low drive could only be parried by the Radfall keeper leaving Darren Stirrups the easiest of tap ins for his and Birch's second.
Stirrups completed his hat trick shortly after heading home a Colin Rouse corner at the front post to leave Birch with a 3-1 half time lead.
The second half started with Radfall trying to find a way back into the game but the back four held firm with Colin Rouse and Martin Flaig shielding them brilliantly in centre mid. The lead was increased when the lively Ross Aylett broke down the right and cut back for Darren Stirrups to fire home and put thte result beyond doubt. The rout was then completed when Stirrups layed the ball up for Aylett to fire home a rasping drive from the edge of the box. A great team performance considering Birch were left short with last minute withdrawals meaning forced changes to the team, now on to the next round and hopefully an away day.
