STOURPORT'S debut season in Midlands Four West (South) continues to be blighted by injury.
They are contending with a string of problems which became worse in the previous week's surprise 22-10 North Midlands Shield first round exit to Ludlow.
Chris Hoare looks set for a lengthy stay on the sidelines after dislocating his knee, while Julian Farmer needed 12 stitches in his leg.
Stourport also had to put up with the shock defeat to lower-ranked opposition with tries from Les Pimm and Andy Bourne.
Skipper Andy Hubbold said: "We've had the disappointment of the cup but what is vital now is that we begin to get the league points on the board."
Stourport are second from bottom in their division but the devastating injury list is hardly helping matters.
Fixture, Saturday: Stourport 1sts v Stourbridge 3rds, Stourbridge 4ths v 2nds, 3rds v Stourbridge 5ths.
