Stourport Ladies seconds went into the Christmas break with a friendly 3-2 victory at county rivals Bromsgrove.

Kerry Maughan ran onto a ball from deep inside her own half to give them a 20th minute lead.

Within seven minutes, Katie Pryce slotted home but Bromsgrove still looked dangerous in the second half and pulled level.

However, much-changed Stourport, with youngster Jackie Russell making her debut in goal, bounced back and secured victory when Laura Price deflected the ball into the top of the net from a short-corner.

Bridgnorth equalised soon afterwards, converting a penalty stroke, but that was their last joy.

Stourport took control and destroyed their visitors with I Roberts, L Martin, S Warren (three) and M Nelson among the goal-scorers.
