STOURPORT Swifts lifted themselves away from the relegation zone with victory over Rocester.

Swifts won 3-2 last Saturday to back up last week’s win over Shepshed Dynamo.

Goals from Andrew Hudson, Joe Phillips and Sam Beasley secured back-to-back successes.

In-form Swifts have moved to fourth-from-bottom in the Midland Football League’s Premier Division.

Manager Mark Phillips said: “We have played well in both games but there was only fine margins in them.

“It has helped us that we scored early in both as well. We are a young team and totally different once we go ahead.

They now host Shepshed for the reverse fixture this Saturday before travelling to Coventry United next Tuesday night.

“Saturday will be very difficult. Shepshed will be determined to beat us after the previous result,” added the boss.

Swifts will be without Joe Robinson after he suffered a knee injury last week.
