10 man Swifts win 6 goal thriller
Westfields 2 Stourport Swifts 4 HPL 29th September 2026
Swifts’ Adam Willis saw red after 37 minutes of this match, but Stourport not only hung on to their lead, but helped themselves to two more goals with this backs to the wall win at Westfields.
Swifts took an early lead when Dieter Schwarm fed skipper Joe Hull for him to guide in from 8 yards for his third goal in 5 games. Hull’s header then gave Louis Monaghan the chance to give Swifts the flying start their approach work deserved, when he raced clear to hold off the attentions of Ben Tilbury and drive an angled shot past keeper Matt Gwynne. Omari Brown then hit the post as they searched for a third, but after 20 minutes Westfields were back in it after Hull failed to clear and leading scorer Tyrese Simbanda gratefully gobbled up the chance to make it 2-1.
Adam Willis blazed over the bar when well placed, but things got decidedly worse for him in the 37th minute when he was dismissed after clash with defender Sean Cooke.
The Swifts coped well with being a man down, and worked tirelessly to deny Westfields any genuine chances on goal, and on the hour Omari Brown broke clear on the right and found an inch perfect pass for Jake Cooper to turn in from ten yards to restore their two goal advantage. Sub Abu Kanu almost added another after a tricky run into the box, but his low effort was saved by Gwynne at the near post.
Kanu then turned villain in the 76th minute when he bundled over Mike Mcgrath in the box to give Ben Tilbury the chance to reduce the arrears from the spot and put the Swifts defence back on red alert.
Josh Murtagh produced an outstanding point blank save from Sibanda to keep his side ahead, and with seconds left on the clock Louis Monaghan held off two robust challenges to find Ethan Peer in space in the box, who cooly turned inside to fire past Gwynne and make the points safe.
SWIFTS: Murtagh, Bowen, Joe Hanson, Hull©, Watts, Willis, Jim Hanson, Schwarm, Brown, Monaghan, Cooper. SUBS USED: Skeen-Hamilton, Kanu, Peer
Last gasp goal costs Swifts
Cinderford Town 1 Stourport Swifts 1 HPL 26th September 2026
A 94th minute equaliser from Cinderford’s Ryan Hillier cost Stourport Swifts the 3 points their performance deserved on Saturday.
From the start, the Swifts energetic approach gave them a distinct edge against a powerful third-placed Cinderford, and both new signing Abu Kanu and Louis Monanaghan passed up golden chances to give them an early lead.
In the 15th minute Kanu then tested keeper Jude Franks with a fierce angled drive he did well to hold, before Cinderford winger Leyton Harris, looking a threat down the Swifts’ right flank, fired narrowly wide.
Swift went in front when Omari Brown and Nathan Bowen combined well for Brown to cross , and Adam Willis escaped the attentions of Ben Vine to score with a deft header as he raced in at the far post.
The second half saw the home side pile on pressure, but the Swifts back line held firm from a series of dangerous corners, with Josh Murtagh dealing well with some extra physical attention, but the Swifts still saw the better chances, with Willis opening up the Cinderford defence with a strong run into the box, but Monaghan could not find the touch to steer past Franks, and Bowen surged through only to see his shot deflected wide.
As the Swifts looked odds on to take the win, just one corner too many was only half cleared, and Hillier was on hand to force in through a crowd players at the far post.
SWIFTS: Murtagh, Bowen, Joe Hanson, Hull, Watts, Willis, Jim Hanson, Schwarm, Brown, Monaghan, Kanu. SUBS USED: Skeen-Hamilton, Cooper
Swifts move into top six
Stourport Swifts 4 Cribbs 1 HPL 19th September 2026
Swifts fell behind again before they hit back to chalk up another three points for their fourth consecutive win.
After a bright start in which Charlie Watts saw his goalbound effort deflected wide and Dieter Schwarm blazed over the top after Adam Willis’s shot was blocked, it was Cribbs’ Arron Sweete who was first on the scoresheet when he curled a superb 20 yarder past Josh Murtagh into the top corner in the 17th minute.
Omari Allwood then jinked past three defenders in the box but ran out of space before he could squeeze in his cross. Louis Monaghan put the Swifts level after 25 minutes when he beat hesitant Cribbs keeper Ron Newbery to a misplaced back pass to score from a tight angle.
Monaghan passed up the chance to make it two just four minutes later, when he fired wildly over the top from close range, but skipper Matt Harland made no mistake when Nathan Bowen crossed from the right for Allwood to knock down for him to fire in from 15 yards.
Swifts added a third just before half time, and after Joe Hull’s header from Dan Cox’s corner was cleared off the line by Ismail Daud, another Monaghan shot was cleared off the line by Tom Chaplin, but hit Adam Willis and went in for the easiest goal he will ever score.
The second half was all one way traffic as Stourport began to show the confidence that a winning run brings, stroking the ball around to create several more opportunities, but they had to settle for just one more goal when a driving run from Adam Willis was pulled back for Omari Allwood to stroke in from close range.
SWIFTS: Murtagh, Cox, Joe Hanson, Hull, Watts, Willis, Harland, Schwarm, Bowen, Monaghan, Allwood . SUBS USED: Jim Hanson, Martin, Mooney, Nicklin, Toure
Swifts make it three in a row
Stourport Swifts 3 Pershore Town 2 HPL 15th September 2026
Stourport Swifts secured their third straight win when they came back from a goal down to take the points in this local derby against Pershore.
The visitors took the lead against the run of play when Swifts keeper Josh Murtagh fumbled Joe Hull’s headed back pass to allow Jamie Lucas the simplest of tap ins.
But the lead lasted only four minutes, when Joe Hull was on hand at the far post to head home Dan Cox’s corner. Louis Monaghan and Adam Willis then combined well to force Haydn Whitcombe to turn his shot around the post.
Swifts snatched the initiative, and five minutes before half time surged in front when Omari Allwood outpaced Cian Hodson to drill in a low cross for Nathan Bowen to arrive late to drive a low shot past Whitcombe at the far post
Willis and Allwood both blazed high and wide early in the second half, and Murtagh saved bravely at the feet of Lucas to deny him an equaliser. Stourport searched for a third, and after 75 minutes Monaghan held off the attentions of Pershore skipper Joe Waterfield to set up Allwood, who blasted a fierce low shot inside Whitcombe’s right hand post.
Romario Martin then hammered a scorching angled 25 yarder just past the upright before Jake Williams forced in a late second for Pershore to give the Swifts a nervous last five minutes.
SWIFTS: Murtagh, Cox, Joe Hanson, Hull, Watts, Willis, Harland, Schwarm, Bowen, Monaghan, Allwood . SUBS USED: Jim Hanson, Martin, Mooney, Peer,
