Hammond snatches last gasp point
AFC Wolverhampton City 2 Stourport Swifts 2 MPL 29th November Att: 176
Scott Hammond pounced in the sixth minute of injury time to grab Swifts a point and seal a fightback from two goals down.
Stourport got off to the worst possible start when after just four minutes, Luqman Wirba raced in behind a static defence and coolly chipped over Charlie Mcnamara to give his side the lead.
Jake Webb shot narrowly wide of the far post and Joe Clarke headed wide from a right wing corner as 3rd placed City took control, and matters took a turn for the worse in the 31st minute when Will Rawlins brought down Sean Williams in the box with a clumsy challenge, and Tim Oyanda stepped up to fire City 2-0 in front.
Five minutes before half time Archie Thurston gave the Swifts a lifeline when he turned smartly and drove a dipping 25 yarder past Sam Arnold to pull a goal back.
The Swifts were a different proposition in the second half, and twice in the first few minutes Jim Hanson shot wide then went even closer when he connected with Jake Cooper’s free kick. Joe Hanson was on hand to clear off the line from a Reece Mason effort, then City defender Chris Knight did well to head clear Cooper’s dangerous left wing cross.
With the clock ticking down Stourport were pressing hard for a leveller, and Arnold tipped Thurston’s low drive onto the post, and Kai Adams forced him to another save with two minutes to go.
As added time ebbed away, Hammond was on hand to force home an equaliser after a scramble in the City box.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Rawlins, Joe Hanson, Matt Hanson, Cooper, Moseley, Jim Hanson, Millinchip, Hammond, Thurston, Adams. SUBS USED: Carter, Straker, Perez-Andoh, Bow
Swifts held again
Stourport Swifts 2 Uttoxeter Town 2 MPL 8th November Att: 115
Uttoxeter’s Jeff Quayson gave his side a 25th minute lead when Swifts keeper Charlie Mcnamara misjudged his looping speculative header to gift the visitors the lead.
Swifts hit back with a rousing second half fightback, and took the lead with two goals in two minutes when Kai Adams equalised on the hour, then produced a pin point cross for Joe Phillips to give his side the lead with a smart header.
Swifts looked on course for their first win in 13 games, but Jack Hinchcliffe had other ideas when he levelled the score with fifteen minutes to go.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Joe Hanson, Matt Hanson, Straker, Cooper, Sappleton, Thurston, Jim Hanson, Scott, Phillips, Adams. SUBS USED: Millinchip, Moore, Rawlins, Carter,
Swifts squander precious win
Coton Green 1 Stourport Swifts 1 MPL 1st November Att: 40
Stourport Swifts squandered a golden opportunity to break their winless run, when having fought back from a goal down, they passed up an injury time gift and had to settle for a point.
Swifts went down at home to third placed Coton Green 3 weeks ago in a tightly contested match, and this game was no different . The home side went in front when Matt Hunt headed in at the far post in the 58th minute, and the Swifts then had keeper Charlie Mcnamara to thank when he kept out a hotly disputed penalty with an outstanding save. Kai Adams levelled for Stourport when he drove low into the net, and they looked certain to snatch the points in stoppage time when Leslie Omorodion crossed to give Kosh Sappleton a two yard tap in, but the midfielder somehow blazed over the bar.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Joe Hanson, Matt Hanson, Moseley, Cooper, Straker, Sappleton, Carter, Scott, Phillips, Adams. SUBS USED: Millinchip, Moore, Sczwarek, Omorodion, Olaleye
