Leaders give Swifts a lesson
Stourport Swifts 0 Northwich Victoria 3 MPL 24th January Att: 141
Stourport Swifts matched league leaders Northwich for 45 minutes, but went down to a three goal burst after the break as they once again faioed to find the net.
Northwich, with only one defeat so far this season, twice went close in the early stages, with Stan Cooke firing a 25 yarder narrowly wide after 18 minutes, and 16 goal Jeff Abreu saw his shot blocked after Will Lloyd crossed from the right. Swifts best spell came just before the break, when Joe Hanson was inches away from connecting with Matt Harland’s raking cross. Archie Thurston then played Kai Adams through on goal but his low shot flashed just wide.
Two minutes into the second half Victoria went in front when Nathan Bowen hesitated to clear as the ball looked like running out to for a goal kick and Abreu pounced to seize possession, then turned inside to drive an angled shot past Charlie Mcnamara in the Swifts goal . Abreu threatened again ten minutes later, but his teasing cross dropped just over the bar.
With the Swifts searching for a leveller, Joe Hanson saw red after 65 minutes as he was judged to have brought down Bas Yusuff as he broke through the defence, but the midfielder was still some way from a goalscoring opportunity. Five minutes later the visitors extended their lead when Sean Cooke blasted in a 25 yard free kick, and with ten minutes left Will Young turned smartly on the edge of the box to curl a sweet left footer past Mcnamara to give his side a 3-0 win.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Joe Hanson, Andoh-Mills, Higginson, Bowen, Matt Hanson, Harland, Millinchip, Hammond, Thurston, Adams. SUBS USED: Carter, Moore, Opayinka
Swifts goalless again
Brocton 2 Stourport Swifts 0 MPL 20th January 2026 Att: 100
Stourport Swifts failed once again to hit the net, and went down at Brocton in a match they could easily have left with three points.
Swifts were first to threaten when Kai Adams broke down the left and crossed for Archie Thurston to set up Tom Nicklin who shot wide from six yards. The dangerous Adams again escaped the attentions of the Brocton defence to set up Thurston, but his shot flew over the bar.
Brocton took advantage of some hesitant defending to take the lead just after half time when Chris Blanchette pounced to force home from close range after Morgan Payne crossed from the left.
After Brocton failed to clear Nicklin’s corner from the left Harry Higginson rattled the bar with a snapshot on the turn, and Thurston deserved better when his driving run into the box saw his right foot effort flash narrowly wide. Scott Hammond then tested George Scott in the Brocton goal as an equaliser looked likely, but some hesitant Swifts defending then presented Brocton sub Dylan Millington with a simple header past Charlie Mcnamara to put his side two up.
Swifts should have set up at least a grandstand finish with ten minutes left, but after Adams again opened up the Brocton defence with a surging run into the box to present Billy Moore with a tap in, he dithered too long and allowed defender Kenny devoir to block his shot.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Bowen, Mills-Andoh, Higginson, Matt Hanson, Nicklin, Hammond, Harland, Millinchip, Thurston, Adams. SUBS USED: Moore, Mokondora
Mistakes cost Swifts in Boxing Day clash
Stourport Swifts 0 Lye Town 2 MPL 26th December Att: 240
Two costly mistakes in five second half minutes gave Lye two simple goals to leave Stourport Swifts pointless from this Boxing Day clash.
The first half produced little in the way of goalmouth action from either side, with Archie Thurston just too far away from Kai Adams’ left wing cross, and Alfie Didlock flashed a dangerous cross across the Swifts goal, but evaded both Lye strikers in the box. Elliott Ball managed to block a goalbound effort from Adams after 34 minutes, and Charlie Mcnamara in the Swifts goal saved comfortably from Martin Slevin.
In the second half, with the game becoming a scrappy contest, the match turned in the 62nd minute when Mcnamara was caught in possession by Tyler Smith, and the substitute raced through to tap into an empty net to give Lye the lead. Five minutes later the Swifts defence completed their Christmas list to their opponents when skipper Joe Hanson dithered and Mcnamara dallied again to give Matt Saunders another open goal to tap into.
The Swifts could not muster a worthwhile response, and matters got even worse when Lewis Moseley was red carded for a reckless challenge for his side to limp across the line with ten men and facing another suspension for the next three games.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Andoh-Mills, Joe Hanson, Matt Hanson, Cooper, Moseley, Nicklin, Carter, Hammond, Thurston, Adams. SUBS USED: Millinchip, Straker, Makondora, Scott
