Match photos > Stourport Swifts (A) BGB Midland Division - 12 Jan 2008

Thanks to David Clough and Verian Thomas for the pics.
A 1-0 win completes the double over Swifts.

The game went ahead after a morning pitch inspection.
The rain had been a deluge on Friday and there were fears that
the nearby River Severn would burst its banks. (Verian)

The crowd of 262 was the highest ever for a Swifts league match and their second highest (behind Chester City) in their all-time records.

The burger van did a roaring trade on a cold day.
There was no swift in the "Swift Burger", though.
Are they a protected species? (David)

Swifts' keeper Chris Jay was the home side's hero on the day.
He stopped three or four good goalbound shots. (David)

As Stourport tired after an hour on the heavy pitch, Brakes began to find more gaps and eventually won the game courtesy of an own goal (David)
