PRINCE Henry scored four goals on debut as Pershore Town came from behind to claim a stunning 7-2 win at Malvern Town in the Worcestershire Senior Cup.
The Plums trailed to Levi Francis’s first-half goal only to run riot in the second period at the HDAnywhere Community Stadium.
Pershore debutant Henry scored four goals to inspire the lower-division side to victory while Calum Harper, Jack Griffiths Perry and Yuri Quintas all found the net.
Malvern play one level above Pershore and broke the deadlock on 18 minutes when Francis’s effort bounced in front of Pershore goalkeeper Joe Cunneen and looped over the Plums stopper.
However, the Plums equalised on 55 minutes as Henry scored from the penalty spot after Malvern goalkeeper Josh Bishop fouled Quintas in the box.
And Pershore completed the turnaround just two minutes later when Harper hammered a half-volley in off the underside of the crossbar.
The visitors extended their lead on the hour mark as Henry curled a shot into the left corner of the goal from the right side of the penalty area to leave Bishop with no chance.
Pershore struck three times in the space of five minutes to stun Lee Hooper’s side.
Malvern responded on 73 minutes when Piers Walton produced a clinical finish from the edge of the penalty area.
However, the Plums restored their two-goal cushion moments later as Quintas cut in from the left and squared the ball to Henry who duly completed his hat-trick on debut.
Henry scored his fourth goal of the game on 80 minutes as he turned home a ball from the right via the aid of a deflection.
And Pershore made it six in the final minute as the Plums broke from a Malvern corner and Griffiths Perry produced a calm finish beyond Bishop.
Pershore further humiliated Malvern in injury time as Quintas pounced on a sequence of errors at the back to finish into an empty net on a night to remember for the visitors.
