Dunstable Town 2
Stourport Swifts 4

SUPERSUB Alex Lavery inspired Stourport to a convincing victory at mid-table Dunstable.

The visitors were trailing to an early strike until his 70th minute equaliser and Swifts then took control of the game.

Mick O'Neil gave Dunstable the lead when his shot deflected off Nathan Jukes and flew past wrong-footed keeper Chris Jay on ten minutes.

The remainder of the half saw the visitors create a number of chances but the closest they went to levelling was a Richard Burgess strike that went just the wrong side of the post.

O'Neil almost doubled the lead at the start of the second period but his shot hit the underside of the bar.

Lavery replaced fellow striker Duncan Willetts on 61 minutes and was on the scoresheet just nine minutes later when he calmly chipped Dunstable keeper Paul Taylor following good work from Burgess.

Will Gayton struck a second two minutes later and Stourport's fightback continued on 74 minutes when Burgess lobbed home from 25 yards for his third goal in as many matches.

Richard Tomkins made it 4-1 seven minutes from time before the home side grabbed their second through a Steve Pratt header.

Swifts: Jay 7, Smith 8, Robinson 8, Jukes 7 (Wood 74), McComisky 7, Tomkins 8, COLWELL 9, C Williams 7 (Wolsey 83), Burgess 8, Willetts 7 (Lavery 61, 7), Gayton 8. Subs (not used): Charles, D Williams.
