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
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
Swifts put to the sword as Hanley go top
Stourport Swifts 0 Hanley Town 7 MPL 31st March 2026 Att: 84
Rampant Hanley Town reclaimed top spot in the Premier League as they ruthlessly took apart a lack lustre Stourport Swifts last night.
Hanley lost their lead at the top on Saturday when they went down at home to Wolverhampton City, and were in no mood for a repeat at Walshes Meadow.
The visitors went in front after 14 minutes when leading scorer Lewis Porter was first to react in the Swifts box to score from close range, and his second came just 8 minutes later when he cleverly lobbed over Alex King from a tight angle. Corey Muirhead was next on the scoresheet in the 27th minute when he raced in to pick up a clever lay off from Porter to drill a shot past King from 12 yards out. Finn Pattison added a fourth in the 31st minute as the Swifts could not stem the tide, and Porter completed a quick fire hat trick from the penalty spot when he blasted home after being brought down by Jake Cooper.
Stourport managed to last 15 minutes into the second half before skipper Joel Stair thumped in a far post header after a free kick from Max Van Der Laan. Porter completed the scoring in the 64th minute with his fourth goal to complete a miserable night for the Swifts.
SWIFTS: King, Bowen, Joe Hanson, Moseley, Cooper, Jim Hanson, Matt Hanson, Pilling, Harland, Cairney, Dapaa. SUBS USED: Edmonds, Carter, Rawlins, Colebrook, Titterton
