Swifts make it two in a row
Highgate United 0 Stourport Swifts 4 MPL 21st February 2026 Att: 102
Stourport Swifts eased their relegation worries with a thumping 4-0 win at Highgate to notch back to back wins for the first time this season.
Swifts dominated from the first whistle, and after Jim Hanson and Kai Adams both should have given their side the lead, they finally got the goal they deserved after 20 minutes when after some neat work on the right Archie Thurston swept home from six yards.
Stourport had a scare when Jack Ward rattled Charlie Mcnamara’s crossbar with a long range free kick ten minutes later, but Jake Cooper was on hand to fire them further ahead from close range just before the break.
Kai Adams increased the Swifts lead as the one way traffic continued in the second half, drilling a low shot past Highgate keeper Josh Murtagh, then on the hour was brought down from behind by Jack Ricketts as he raced clear of the home defence, and Archie Thurston fired the spot kick low inside the post to give the Swifts a commanding 4 goal lead.
The margin should have increased further after 69 minutes, but after exposing the home defence once again, Adams hit the side netting from a tight angle after rounding the keeper, then Murtagh produced an outstanding save low to his right after Ewan Carter jinked past two defenders in the box.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Bowen, Joe Hanson, Titterton, Cooper, Jim Hanson, Matt Hanson, Harland, Dapaa, Thurston, Adams. SUBS USED: Carter, Cairney, Nicklin, Moseley, Rawlins.
Swifts in 4 goal romp
Stourport Swifts 4 Studley 0 MPL 31st January Att: 118
Stourport Swifts ended their four game losing streak with their biggest win of the season against fellow strugglers Studley.
Kai Admas tested Studley keeper Cian Quinn after just four minutes, and should have gone ahead minutes later but Archie Thurston scuffed a tame shot safely to the keeper after some good work from Jim Hanson on the left. Tane Lucra shot wide in a rare Studley attack as swifts dominated proceedings, with Ewan Carter seeing his close range effort come back off a post and Harry Higginson forcing Quinn into a fine save following Jake Cooper’s corner.
Stourport finally went ahead after 35 minutes, when after another jet heeled run down the left, Kai Adams drove in a low cross for Tom Nicklin to score at the far post. Before Studley could gather their wits, Thurston made no mistake when he turned sharply on the edge of the box to blast past Quinn to make it 2-0.
Just before the break Perez Mills-Andoh caused chaos at the far post following another corner, but his header was scrambled away by a clutch of relieved defenders.
The second half continued with a procession of Swifts attacks, and Jim Hanson should have done better when he headed straight at the keeper when unmarked from another corner. Nathan Bowen then pinged in a pin point cross from the left, but Tom Nicklin’s header brought another fine save from Quinn .
Swifts extended their lead after 56 minutes when Ewan Carter headed in from close range from another Cooper corner, then Jim Hanson’s slide rule pass gave Adams a clear run through on goal but Quinn managed to block his low effort as he raced from his line.
Kai Adams completed the scoring with 14 minutes to go when he blasted home from 12 yards following Jim Hanson’s cross.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Bowen, Andoh-Mills, Higginson, Cooper, Matt Hanson, Jim Hanson, Nicklin, Carter, Thurston, Adams. SUBS USED: Dapaa, Titterton, Rawlins, Allesbrook, Millinchip
Leaders give Swifts a lesson
Stourport Swifts 0 Northwich Victoria 3 MPL 24th January Att: 141
Stourport Swifts matched league leaders Northwich for 45 minutes, but went down to a three goal burst after the break as they once again faioed to find the net.
Northwich, with only one defeat so far this season, twice went close in the early stages, with Stan Cooke firing a 25 yarder narrowly wide after 18 minutes, and 16 goal Jeff Abreu saw his shot blocked after Will Lloyd crossed from the right. Swifts best spell came just before the break, when Joe Hanson was inches away from connecting with Matt Harland’s raking cross. Archie Thurston then played Kai Adams through on goal but his low shot flashed just wide.
Two minutes into the second half Victoria went in front when Nathan Bowen hesitated to clear as the ball looked like running out to for a goal kick and Abreu pounced to seize possession, then turned inside to drive an angled shot past Charlie Mcnamara in the Swifts goal . Abreu threatened again ten minutes later, but his teasing cross dropped just over the bar.
With the Swifts searching for a leveller, Joe Hanson saw red after 65 minutes as he was judged to have brought down Bas Yusuff as he broke through the defence, but the midfielder was still some way from a goalscoring opportunity. Five minutes later the visitors extended their lead when Sean Cooke blasted in a 25 yard free kick, and with ten minutes left Will Young turned smartly on the edge of the box to curl a sweet left footer past Mcnamara to give his side a 3-0 win.
SWIFTS: Mcnamara, Joe Hanson, Andoh-Mills, Higginson, Bowen, Matt Hanson, Harland, Millinchip, Hammond, Thurston, Adams. SUBS USED: Carter, Moore, Opayinka
