A great half-volley from 20 yards by Josh Cooke on 50 minutes and a header from Stuart Pierpoint sealed victory after the first half had finished even.

Stourbridge made the running from the start and took the lead on nine minutes when Baggies goalkeeper Alex Palmer pushed a long throw out to the edge of the area where Wolves loanee Aaron Haydon crashed it home.

A young Albion side offered little throughout, although they did equalise in the first half from the spot through Callum Morton after he had been brought down in the box. Luke Benbow also went close for Stourbridge in the first half but Palmer pulled off a good save.

Stourbridge will now play either Hednesford or Nuneaton in the final.
