Swifts up to fourth

 Stourport Swifts 3  Tuffley Rovers 0 HPL  20th October 2026

Swifts moved up to fourth in the table following this home win against Tuffley Rovers.

Tuffley showed a quality and energy that suggested their mid table position was not a true reflection of where they should be, which produced an entertaining match as the Swifts looked to build on their big win at the weekend.

Josh Murtagh was the first of the keepers to be called into action, holding on well to a fizzing effort from Jacob Eakers, and the Swifts were fortunate that Connor Walters turned a cross from Corey Warrington wide from eight yards out.

Stourport went in front after 32 minutes when Abu Kanu drove in from close range after a surging run from Nathan Bowen down the right. Kanu and Luke Benbow linked well for Kanu to force Tuffley keeper Tom Kaye to a smart save, and Charlie Watts then fired in a dangerous cross from the left which Kanu was inches away from finishing. Benbow twice went close early in the second half before his neat one-two with Jim Hanson allowed Hanson to pick his spot low past Kaye to put his side two ahead.

Louis Monaghan shot wide after a run and cross from Tyrese Griffin down the left, and with 17 minutes to go, defender Callum Mclean gave the Swifts a helping hand when he thumped a cross from the ever dangerous Bowen into the roof of his own net.

SWIFTS: Murtagh, Cox, Joe Hanson, Hull, Watts, Bowen, Schwarm, Jim Hanson, Kanu, Griffin, Benbow.   SUBS USED: Monaghan, Harland, Nicklin, Peer, Cooper,

Benbow batters the Vic

 Stourport Swifts 6  Malmesbury Victoria  2 HPL  17th October 2026

Stourport Swifts produced a blistering 6 goal feast inside the first 25 minutes to demolish  second from bottom visitors Malmesbury Victoria.

Abu Kanu was first on the scoresheet  after just 3 minutes when Luke Benbow flicked on for him to burst through and drill in low at the near post. A  minute later Kanu looked certain to score his second but was brought down in the box by Ben Patey, and Benbow stepped up to fire low past keeper Harry Pickeringfrom the spot.

As the clock ticked on to 6 minutes Kanu  notched his second with a cool chipped finish over Pickering after Benbow had once more played him in behind.

Just as it  looked as if Malmesbury were getting a breather, the floodgates opened again with another 3 goals in six minutes. In the 19th minute Benbow turned provider again to put through Tyrese Griffin for a neat debut goal, then Benbow notched  his second after Nathan Bowen surged through the flimsy Vic defence to square an inch perfect pass for him to fire clinically home from 10 yards. Benbow then completed a quick fire 20 minute hat trick when Bowen again set him up for a close range finish.

The Swifts could have increased their lead even further before half time, with Benbow volleying a spectacular effort over the bar, then Kanu passed up the chance for his own hat trick when he blazed wildly wide from a snap shot.

The second half turned into a anti climax, as the visitors got their act together to shore up their leaky defence, as the Swifts seemed content to stroke the ball around, then Josh Murtagh gave them a gift goal when he mis controlled a back pass 30 yards out and George Evatt strode forward to roll into an empty net.

Benbow’s overhead kick dropped just over the bar and a fierce Jake Cooper effort flashed wide before Harry Sealey gave the scoreline a little more respect when he turned in from close range after the Swifts defence failed to clear.

SWIFTS: Murtagh, Cox, Joe Hanson, Hull, Watts, Bowen, Schwarm, Jim Hanson, Kanu, Griffin, Benbow.   SUBS USED: Moseley, Matt Hanson, Nicklin, Peer, Cooper,

 Swifts beaten again at home

 Stourport Swifts 0 Roman Glass St.George  2 HPL  10th October 2026

League leaders Roman Glass proved too hard to break as Swifts lost their second home game in a week.

Stourport welcomed back skipper Matt Harland from injury, but the absence of other key players cost them dearly as Roman Glass tested keeper Josh Murtagh with some early pressure then went ahead after 20 minutes when full back Dan Stoneman volleyed in from the edge of the box after Swifts could only half clear following a corner.

Murtagh saved well from a 30 yard free kick from leading scorer Lewis Gilchrist, then Charlie Watts cleared off the line from a Gilchrist header as the visitors controlled for most of the first half.

Swifts showed more purpose after the break, and when Lewis Ward found Kanu on the left his cross was eventually scrambled clear by defender Mikkel Graham. Jim Hanson tested Glass keeper Ryan Smallwood with a rasping 20 yarder as the Swifts pressed for an equaliser, but then Jennison Williams managed to weave his way through past three defenders to slide past Murtagh and give his side a two goal lead.

Stourport almost pulled a goal straight back when Joe Hull’s header was steered goalwards from five yards out following a corner, but then it was defender Jordan Williams turn to clear off the line as Roman Glass kept a clean sheet to take the points.

SWIFTS: Murtagh, Bowen, Joe Hanson, Hull, Watts, Allwood, Schwarm, Harland, Peer, Brown, Ward.   SUBS USED: Kanu, Nicklin, Jim Hanson, Moseley, Toure
