Droitwich run riot in holiday route
Droitwich Spa 7 Stourport Swifts 2 HPL 31st August 2026
Stourport Swifts suffered a Bank Holiday battering at the hands of neighbours Droitwich on Monday.
Those in the 200 plus crowd who came expecting a competitive local derby match were sadly disappointed as the Swifts simply failed to show up, and were outrun and outfought all over the park for most of the 90 minutes.
Nathan Binner fired Droitwich ahead with a 30 yard free kick after 10 minutes, and two minutes later Perry Moss made it 2-0. In a rare moment of quality Bruce Minaker pulled a goal back for the Swifts with a long range lob over Droitwich keeper Dom Rogerson, but in their very next attack James Lemon restored the two goal advantage with a neat finish, Charlie Mcnamara then produced two outstanding saves to deny Alex Dugmore from close range to keep the scoreline respectable at the break.
The introduction of Kai Adams at half time gave the Swifts more of a cutting edge, with Jim Hanson heading wide from Erik Savkin’s cross before full back Dan Cox blasted an unstoppable 35 yard effort past Rogerson into the top corner.
Once again however, the joy was shortlived, with Binner netting his second just 3 minutes later, and in the 70th minute Dugmore rose unchallenged to plant a firm header past Mcnamara to make it 5-1.
With the Swifts defence seemingly downing tools for the last 20 minutes, Sam Carey turned in from close range after Mcnamara parried a long range free kick from Moss, and sub Hubert Zitorski completed a miserable afternoon for the Swifts with 2 minutes to go.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Cox, Schwarm, Hull, Cooper, Willis, Harland, Jim Hanson, Minaker, Mooney, Savkin. SUBS USED: Mills-Andoh, Adams, Peer, Bowen, Nicklin
Swifts can’t break through
Stourport Swifts 1 Highworth Town 1 HPL 22nd August 2026
Ten man Highworth held out for the entire second half of this match to snatch a point at Walshes Meadow on Saturday.
Highworth went in front after 35 minutes with their first serious attack when Marcel Lewis opened up the Swifts defence for Cheldon Valere to score with a low shot past Charlie Mcnamara’s left hand. Connor Mooney and Joe Hull had both gone close for Stourport, and Bruce Minaker fired narrowly wide after being put through by Matt Harland.
Defender Matt Cheetham received his second yellow card on the stroke of half time, and the Swifts laid siege to the Highworth goal from the restart.
Mooney crossed from the left and Minaker was inches wide with his header, then Joe Hull headed over the top from Mooney’s corner. Dieter Schwarm then saw his fierce long range effort parried by James Smallcombe in the Highworth goal, and the rebound was scramble clear.
Swifts were level in the 55th minute, when following another Mooney corner, Jim Hanson’s low effort was deflected in.
A Swifts winner looked inevitable, but although Mooney, Schwarm and Erik Savkin all gave Smallcombe a busy last half hour, Highworth held on to take a battling point.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Cox, Schwarm, Hull, Cooper, Nicklin, Harland, Jim Hanson, Minaker, Mooney, Savkin. SUBS USED: Toure, Moseley, Willis, Peer, Bowen
Swifts off the mark
Stourport Swifts 3 Longlevens 0 HPL 18th August 2026
Stourport Swifts took their first three points of the season with this comfortable win against Longlevens.
On loan striker Bruce Minaker looked likely to open the scoring after 8 minutes, but delayed his shot and was closed down and blocked by Longlevens skipper Oliver Long. Dan Cox then fired narrowly wide with a thumping 30 yard drive before Minaker put the Swifts in front in the 23rd minute when Connor Mooney drilled in a low shot past keeper Drew Brie when Harland’s through ball played him through the visitor’s back four.
Minaker made it two from the spot when Luke Troke handled in the box 3 minutes later to give his side a cushion at the break.
Longlevens rallied briefly early in the second half, and Finlay Gwillim and Alex Knight both threatened to pull a goal back, but Erik Savkin, Minaker and Adam Willis all passed up chances to increase the Swifts lead. The third goal came with 11 minutes to go when Savkin drove in low past Brie to secure the points
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Cox, Schwarm, Hull, Cooper, Nicklin, Harland, Jim Hanson, , Minaker Mooney, Savkin, SUBS USED: Toure, Moseley, Willis, Peer, Bowen
