Stourport earn their three points

                    ⚽Midland Football League Premier Div⚽

Played at Castlecroft Stadium


AFC Wulfrunians 1  Stourport Swifts 2

Your typical game of two halves where in the first half Wulfs struggled to string two passes together as a result of the high press Swifts employed and did more than enough in the second half to merit at least a draw,yet finished on the wrong end of the result.

Swifts plan worked well for them in the first half, using a high press forcing Wulfs to just clear their lines which meant the ball more often than not, went straight to an opposing player. The plan paid off handsomely in the eleventh minute. Swifts won a free kick just outside the area and it was superbly despatched just inside the RH post by Chilton⚽. This seemed to spur Wulfs as they upped their game but anything threatening was always collected by the keeper.

The hosts came out for the second with renewed vigour and it was they who were in the ascendency and their enterprising play paid dividends on the hour when Webb received the ball on the left and cut in passed three defenders to rattle the ball home, a superb effort⚽. It appeared Wulfs had gained the upper hand but in their search for a winner they were caught out by a breakaway from the visitors on 68 minutes and Tilbury had the relatively easy job of scoring⚽. Now it was Swifts with the upper hand and try as they might Wulfs were unable to level.

Congrats to the visitors who earned their hard won 3 points ; commiserations to the hosts who can feel hard done by,taking nothing from the game.
