STOURPORT Swifts made it two wins in a row with a comfortable 3-0 success against Loughborough University.

Loughborough themselves were coming off the back of a 3-1 win against league leaders Westfields the previous week, and although keeping possession early on, could not find a way through a solid Swifts back line.

Swifts took the lead in the 29th minute when Shaun Griffiths’ header came back off the bar following a Jim Hanson corner, and defender Jake Croud could do nothing as the ball rebounded off him into the net.

Loughborough continued to press, but failed to test Richards in any way as Swifts were content to hit back on the break whenever the visitors attacks broke down.

Swifts hit their best spell of the game in the last quarter of the match, and Jack Downing continued his hot scoring streak when he found the top corner with an angled drive from 12 yards out to give keeper George Hobbs no chance, and it was Downing again who was brought down by the keeper 15 minutes later, and Drew Canavan stepped up to send Hobbs the wrong way from the spot to make it 3-0.

Swifts, who now sit in 14th place in the Midlands Premier Division, will look to make it a hat-trick of wins when they welcome 15th-placed Shepshed Dynamo to Walshes Meadow this Saturday (3pm kick-off).
