Centurions trample Swifts
Cirencester Town 4 Stourport Swifts 1 HPL 24th October 2026
Swifts struggled from the start to come to terms with the blustery conditions and plastic pitch, and leading scorer Harlie Price twice went close for the Centurions in the opening minutes. Abu Kanu squandered a good opportunity when he broke clear of the Cirencester defence but shot tamely wide.
Stourport had a lucky escape on the half hour when Jonty Welch fired over the top from Jamol Dare’s low cross.
Cirencester broke the deadlock on the hour when Sol Pryce rose above the Swifts defence to place a fine header past Josh Murtagh, then Jamol Dare made it two six minutes later when he burst through to calmly slide past Murtagh.
Adam Willis headed Swifts straight back into the game two minutes later, but the revival was shortlived when leading scorer Harlie Price netted with a clever finish to restore the two goal cushion.
Finn Bell then rocketed in a wind assisted fourth from 40 yards out in the 82nd minute to complete a miserable afternoon for the Swifts.
SWIFTS: Murtagh, Cox, Joe Hanson, Hull, Watts, Bowen, Harland, Jim Hanson, Kanu, Griffin, Monaghan. SUBS USED: Willis, Brown, Cooper, Moseley.
Swifts up to fourth
Stourport Swifts 3 Tuffley Rovers 0 HPL 20th October 2026
Swifts moved up to fourth in the table following this home win against Tuffley Rovers.
Tuffley showed a quality and energy that suggested their mid table position was not a true reflection of where they should be, which produced an entertaining match as the Swifts looked to build on their big win at the weekend.
Josh Murtagh was the first of the keepers to be called into action, holding on well to a fizzing effort from Jacob Eakers, and the Swifts were fortunate that Connor Walters turned a cross from Corey Warrington wide from eight yards out.
Stourport went in front after 32 minutes when Abu Kanu drove in from close range after a surging run from Nathan Bowen down the right. Kanu and Luke Benbow linked well for Kanu to force Tuffley keeper Tom Kaye to a smart save, and Charlie Watts then fired in a dangerous cross from the left which Kanu was inches away from finishing. Benbow twice went close early in the second half before his neat one-two with Jim Hanson allowed Hanson to pick his spot low past Kaye to put his side two ahead.
Louis Monaghan shot wide after a run and cross from Tyrese Griffin down the left, and with 17 minutes to go, defender Callum Mclean gave the Swifts a helping hand when he thumped a cross from the ever dangerous Bowen into the roof of his own net.
SWIFTS: Murtagh, Cox, Joe Hanson, Hull, Watts, Bowen, Schwarm, Jim Hanson, Kanu, Griffin, Benbow. SUBS USED: Monaghan, Harland, Nicklin, Peer, Cooper,
Benbow batters the Vic
Stourport Swifts 6 Malmesbury Victoria 2 HPL 17th October 2026
Stourport Swifts produced a blistering 6 goal feast inside the first 25 minutes to demolish second from bottom visitors Malmesbury Victoria.
Abu Kanu was first on the scoresheet after just 3 minutes when Luke Benbow flicked on for him to burst through and drill in low at the near post. A minute later Kanu looked certain to score his second but was brought down in the box by Ben Patey, and Benbow stepped up to fire low past keeper Harry Pickeringfrom the spot.
As the clock ticked on to 6 minutes Kanu notched his second with a cool chipped finish over Pickering after Benbow had once more played him in behind.
Just as it looked as if Malmesbury were getting a breather, the floodgates opened again with another 3 goals in six minutes. In the 19th minute Benbow turned provider again to put through Tyrese Griffin for a neat debut goal, then Benbow notched his second after Nathan Bowen surged through the flimsy Vic defence to square an inch perfect pass for him to fire clinically home from 10 yards. Benbow then completed a quick fire 20 minute hat trick when Bowen again set him up for a close range finish.
The Swifts could have increased their lead even further before half time, with Benbow volleying a spectacular effort over the bar, then Kanu passed up the chance for his own hat trick when he blazed wildly wide from a snap shot.
The second half turned into a anti climax, as the visitors got their act together to shore up their leaky defence, as the Swifts seemed content to stroke the ball around, then Josh Murtagh gave them a gift goal when he mis controlled a back pass 30 yards out and George Evatt strode forward to roll into an empty net.
Benbow’s overhead kick dropped just over the bar and a fierce Jake Cooper effort flashed wide before Harry Sealey gave the scoreline a little more respect when he turned in from close range after the Swifts defence failed to clear.
SWIFTS: Murtagh, Cox, Joe Hanson, Hull, Watts, Bowen, Schwarm, Jim Hanson, Kanu, Griffin, Benbow. SUBS USED: Moseley, Matt Hanson, Nicklin, Peer, Cooper,
