It was a rather uninspiring first half with Banbury showing very little as an attacking force. Stourbridge were comfortably in control and took the lead in the tenth minute when a corner from the left taken by Sean Geddes was glanced home at the near post and into the far side of the net by Leon Broadhurst.

Stourbridge made it 2-0 on 39 minutes when Ben Billingham set-up Kayelden Brown who lofted the ball over Scott Dutton from 10 yards.

Though Stourbridge had hardly seemed to break sweat in the first half they re-appeared for the second looking much more interested and made it 3-0 after just two minutes when Ben Billingham nicked the ball through to Kayeldon Brown down the middle who had just Dutton to beat and though the custodian got a hand to the shot he could not stop it from entering the corner of the net.

It was now all too easy and it became 4-0 on 57 minutes when a cross low from the right by Brown was knocked home by Junior Smikle.

The fifth goal came on 64 minutes when a series of neat short passes ended with a Smikle back-heel into the path of Billingham, with the United defence seemingly standing back and admiring all of this, who fired the ball home from the edge of the penalty area low into the bottom corner of the net.

There were fears at this stage that the cricket scoreboard on the adjacent field might be needed but remarkably Stourbridge failed to add further to their five.

It was very comfortable for Stourbridge all afternoon and the proverbial “walk in the park” for former Puritan Dean Coleman in the Stourbridge goal with United offering nothing going forward to cause him the slightest of concerns.

This is the seventh time United have conceded five or more goals in a league game this season, another unwanted club record!!
