Last match defeat for Swifts
Stourport Swifts 0 1874 Northwich 4 MPL 11th April 2026 Att: 201
Stourport Swifts season ended in defeat as 1874 Northwich secured a comfortable win to ensure they finished in 4th place and secured a play off place.
Swifts started with promise, and Lewis Moseley could easily have put them in front in the 11th minute, but blazed his 12 yard effort over the bar. Charlie Mcnamara then saved well from Dale Jennings as 1874 began to threaten. The breakthrough came after 22 minutes, when Mcnamara failed to hold a cross from Craig Pritchard, and leading scorer Mike Hayes turned smartly to fire home an angled right footer from 5 yards. A Jim Hanson 25yarder fizzed narrowly wide before Hayes added a second after Pritchard crossed again as the visitors took control, and matters got worse for the Swifts when Will Rawlins needlessly brought down Hayes in the box a minute before half time and Jack Wooley gave Northwich a 3-0 halftime lead.
Kwame Dapaa should have reduced the deficit when he was played clear by Matt Harland, but he shot tamely at keeper Jack Atkinson. Nathan Bowen then curled a fine effort inches wide, then went closer still ten minutes later when his shot crashed against the bar. Swifts then lost skipper Harry Higginson when a nasty collision left him needing stitches, and as the Swifts reorganised defender Tom Mitchell killed off any chance of a comeback when he headed in jack Wooley’s corner from close range.
Dapaa almost gave the Swifts fans something to cheer in the last minute when he jinked his way past three defenders in a mazy run into the box, but Atkinson held on to his low shot.
Swifts have finished 14th in the final table, 5 points above the drop zone.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Rawlins, Titterton, Higginson©, Cooper, Bowen, Moseley, Jim Hanson, Harland, Dapaa, Thurston. SUBS USED: Joe Hanson, Carter, Colebrooke, Cairney.
Two in a row for Swifts
Lye Town 1 Stourport Swifts 2 MPL 6th April 2026 Att: 115
Stourport Swifts made it two wins in a row at Lye on Bank Holiday Monday thanks to first half goals from Nathan Bowen and a thunderbolt from Jim Hanson.
Swifts went in front after ten minutes when Matt Hanson won his midfield duel with Sam Hall and played in Bowen to bravely turn into the net despite being clattered by keeper Gael Mfuamba.
Kwame Dapaa’s mazy run eight minutes later saw Mfuamba save well with his legs, but the keeper was forced to leave the field with an injury just a few minutes later and striker Luke Sidaway replaced him in goal. Lye then suffered another setback when winger Leo Gouveia was red carded for a stamp on Jake Cooper, but responded well to level the score on the stroke of half time when Bailey Storer fired in from close range as the Swifts defence failed to cut out a left wing cross.
Jim Hanson then restored the Swifts lead with an angled 25 yard piledriver to leave stand in keeper Sidaway grasping thin air.
Ten man Lye again hit back strongly and the introduction of sub Jack Till caused the Swifts some nervous moments, first when Charlie Mcnamara cut out his dangerous cross, then in the last 15 minutes the striker hit the woodwork twice, first crashing his shot against the bar from Alfie Didlock’s cross, then firing against the post after racing clear on goal.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Rawlins, Titterton, Joe Hanson, Cooper, Bowen, Matt Hanson, Jim Hanson, Carter, Dapaa, Adams. SUBS USED: Mills-Andoh, Colebrooke, Higginson
Dapaa double makes Swifts safe
Uttoxeter Town 0 Stourport Swifts 2 MPL 4th April 2026 Att: 46
Kwame Osei Dapaa notched a second half brace with his first goals for the club to give the Swifts the points they needed to escape the drop zone.
Stourport, still smarting from their midweek drubbing by league leaders Hanley, saw the return of keeper Charlie Mcnamara, 12 goal Kai Adams and skipper Harry Higginson to produce an accomplished performance in a match they dominated in difficult conditions.
In the first ten minutes against a strong wind, Jake Cooper saw his fierce drive blocked and Matt Harland’s low shot was saved by Town keeper Charlie Wood. Mcnamara was rarely troubled in the first half, but dealt well with a dipping effort from John McHugh when he cut inside from the right. Nathan Bowen then managed to connect with a dangerous cross from Jim Hanson but his effort fizzed wide.
After the break Adams was a constant threat down the right side, and his driven cross from the byline was met by Dapaa ten yards out but his shot was blocked by defender Tom Thorley. Adams then skipped past two defenders on 55 minutes to cross for Dapaa to take a touch and blast the Swifts in front .
In a rare Uttoxeter attack, Jack Henchcliffe fired a 25 yard free kick narrowly over the crossbar, but Adams was soon back causing havoc when he again reached the byline to cross for Matt Harland to come within inches of adding to the score, then Jim Hanson crossed for Adams to head just wide.
With 77 minutes gone, Dapaa sealed a vital win when he drove in from eight yards following a Matt Harland corner. The home side produced little to trouble a determined Swifts defence marshalled by Higginson, and Dapaa almost finished with a hat trick when he headed Jim Hanson’s cross just over the bar.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Rawlins, Titterton, Higginson, Cooper, Bowen, Harland, Moseley, Jim Hanson, Dapaa, Adams. SUBS USED: Edmonds
