LEICESTER POLSKA breezed through to the quarter finals of the EW Foster Cup after beating an under strength North Kilworth Sunday side 10-2. Kilworth took a shock early lead on 6 minutes through Nick Coles. But Polska then turned the screw, with Lukasz Tabaka missing a hat trick of decent chances, before Radek Gaglewski finally equalised on 26 minutes, from a Tabaka pass. 2 minutes later, Karol Osipinski then unleashed a fierce volley from the edge of the area from a Przerwa pass to make it 2-1. Savo Wieczorek then made it 3-1 on 32 minutes from a Radek Gaglewski pass, before Tabaka finally opened his account on 45 minutes, virtually the last kick of the first half, to make it 4-1. In the second half, Gaglewski took just 2 minutes to give Polska a 5-1 lead from a Tabaka ball, before Kilworth made it 6-1 with a generous own goal on 59 minutes. Jarek Kwiatkowski then scored his first ever Polska goal on 75 minutes after a great pass from Przerwa, whilst Radek completed his hat trick on 79 minutes after being set up again by Tabaka. Alan Chater then made it 9-1 on 82 minutes from a Przerwa pass, with Tabaka making sure the team hit double figures on 85 minutes from a Gaglewski pass. Gaglewski then blotted his copybook with an own goal on 90 minutes, although Kilworth generously named their scored as Gaz Harris, saving Radek from the ignominy of an own goal.
