OPPOSITION: North Notts.

VENUE: Away.

HALF TIME: 3-0.

FULL TIME SCORE: 3-2.

STOURPORT SCORERS: Jade Marshall-Walker.
Jodi Vincent.
Erin Preece

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MATCH
Stourport 1st XI ladies took a three goal lead into the half time
break but, had to settle for 3-2 victory, after their hosts North Notts
scored twice in the second last weekend in this Midland B fixture.
Stourport started well with some strong passing play converting this
into pressure on the North Notts team from the start. The first goal
came from Jade Marshall-Walker who calmly slotted the ball into the
corner of the opposition's goal. Stourport remained strong and a
second goal came quickly afterwards from Jodi Vincent, who later set up
Erin Preece, after her reverse shot was deflected out to Preece who
smashed it into the net.
Stourport were slower to react in the second half though the pressure
on North Notts remained high. Bad communication in the Stourport side
led to the first goal for the home side, with the Stourport defence
unable to do much to stop them. And, when North Notts were awarded and
converted a penalty flick shortly afterwards, for a bad tackle against
a player in the 'D', Stourport were left feeling the pressure, their
frustration running high as North Notts were getting more and more
physical as they increased the pressure on the Stourport defence,
however the visitors were able to remain strong and the scoreline did
not change leaving Stourport with a well earned win.

TEAM: Stourport 2nd XI.

OPPOSITION: Bridgnorth.

VENUE: Stourport Astro Pitches.

HALF TIME: 1-1.

FULL TIME SCORE: 1-2.

STOURPORT SCORERS: Melissa Kennedy.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MATCH
Stourport ladies 2nd XI went down 2-1 to visiting Bridgnorth, last
weekend in an evenly matched Midland Conference South game.
Stourport came out strongly from the hit back, putting Bridgnorth
under intense pressure, in the opening ten minutes, and on occasions
were only denied a goal by the umpires whistle. However, the visitors
weathered the storm and applied their own period of pressure to the
home goal, and with no umpires whistle preventing them from taking the
lead, Stourport found themselves a goal down. The home side fought
back and finally their pressure told, at a short corner which Holly
Lashford slipped to Nicky Beasley, who passed it on for Melissa Kennedy
to round off the move with an equaliser.
The scores level at the break reflected the nature of the match, and a
draw would have probably been a just result, but, neither side wanted
to settle for a point, and Bridgnorth in particular pushed forward,
putting Stourport under pressure. But, defenders Lashford, Hannah
Corcoran, and Stourport's player of the match Sarah Taylor were having
none of it, holding the visitors back until the final five minutes,
when from open play Bridgnorth scored to steal the points from under
the nose of Stourport, who'd done more than enough to have a point
from this encounter.

STOURPORT SCORERS: Kate Bailey (2).
Jen Peniket.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MATCH
Stourport ladies 3rd XI followed up the previous week's victory over
Old Hales, with a 3-2 win over their hosts, Bournville 2nd XI in last
weeks Worcestershire 2nd Division match.
Stourport pressured their hosts from the start but kept running into a
solid Bournville defence, which didn't concede a single short corner in
the opening half, much to the frustration of their visitors. However,
Stourport finally sneaked into the lead, with a Jen Peniket goal, who
at the near post. Kate Bailey had added a second before the home side
enjoyed a golden ten minutes, where they pulled the scores level.
Firstly they managed to scramble the ball across the line at a short
corner, and then lifted the ball, over the Stourport defence to a
waiting Bournville player who to put the ball pass the Stourport
keeper.
Stourport came out strongly once again in the second half, but again
found it difficult to penetrate Bournville's back line, although they
did course enough problems for the home defence to give away some short
corners. The visitors never faltered in their efforts to leave with
the three points and with five minutes left on the clock, they finally
made it three wins out of three in the league this season when Bailey
scored her second from open play and leave Stourport two points clear
at the top of the table.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MATCH
Stourport ladies 4th XI chalked up another three points, last weekend,
when they beat their visitors to The Kingsway, Bournville 3rds's, 5-0
in a shortened Worcestershire 3rd Division match.
Stourport made the early running in a match that at one point looked
as though, it wouldn't take place, when their opposition found
themselves stuck in traffic. However Bournville did make it to The
Kingsway, but, the home side had to be content to watch their
opposition arrive in dribs and drabs, and once Bournville had the
required seven players the match began, and unfortunately for
Bournville whose goalkeeper had not yet made it to the venue, it began
badly, with two goals for Stourport captain Teri Baron, in the opening
ten minutes. Once at full strength the visitors rallied, but it was
the home side that could've scored next when a Bournville foot on the
line saw Stourport being awarded a penalty flick, unfortunately for the
home side the chance was put against the post and deflected off the
back line. Bournville continued to threaten the home goal but failed
to make much of an impression, whilst the Stourport attack were
creating plenty of chances, but, were unable to take them, or at lest
not until the final moments of the half, when Caroline Wilson well
positioned and free at the left hand post, tapped the ball into add a
third before the break.
Bournville came out in the second half, with more determination but
Stourport were equal to it and damped the visitor's sprits further with
a fourth goal, within ten minutes of the restart, Kathy Doyle receiving
the ball, from a short corner, at the top of the 'D' blasted a shot in
which deflected off a defenders stick into the goal. From then on
Bournville could only muster breakaways, as Stourport applied the
pressure, but once again couldn't produce the goals, until virtually
the final hit of the match when Baron added her hat trick goal, which
leaves Stourport lying second in the table, behind Harborne 5th's.
Stourport players of the match, Louise Marshall who was making her
debut for the club, and Kathy Doyle.
Ends.
