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
Unbeaten run ends
Stourport Swifts 1 Fairford Town 2 HPL 3rd October 2026
Stourport Swifts seven match unbeaten run ended on Saturday with this home defeat against Fairford Town.
Swifts simply could not find the spark which had produced impressive wins in recent weeks, and although Louis Monaghan, Omari Brown and Joe Hull all had the chance to give them an early lead, it was Fairford’s Xavi Diaz-Butcher who showed how it’s done in the 26th minute when he outpaced the Swifts backline to fire past Josh Murtagh and give his side the lead.
Monaghan shot tamely straight at keeper Jack Rae as the Swifts hit back, but a minute before half time Diaz-Butcher was allowed space again, and curled a left foot 20 yarder into the top corner to earn a two goal cushion.
Joe Hull hit the post with a far post header from a Charlie Watts corner, and Omari Brown wasted a good chance when he shot wide as Stourport pushed for the goal to put them back in them back in the game. Abu Kanu skipped past 2 defenders in the box in a run to the bye line, but his low cross was scrambled clear.
With 14 minutes remaining Joe Hanson finally put the Swifts on the scoresheet with a fine header from another Watts corner, but although Kanu and Monaghan both went close, they could not find another goal to extend their unbeaten run.
SWIFTS: Murtagh, Bowen, Joe Hanson, Hull©, Watts, Willis, Jim Hanson, Schwarm, Brown, Monaghan, Cooper. SUBS USED: Cox, Kanu, Allwood
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
