STOURPORT Men's firsts have been told to enter the festive break on a high after thrashing National League North whipping boys Lichfield 6-0.

They travel to struggling Formby on Sunday before playing their re-arranged game against high-flying Bournville next weekend.

And after seeing his side climb to fourth, skipper Phil Lashford has challenged his colleagues to get at least a win and a draw from the next two matches.

"If we can beat Formby and get something from Bournville then we'll go into Christmas fairly pleased because it will have been a good first half of the season for us," he said.

Lashford scored twice as Stourport out-classed Lichfield, while Imran Yousaf, Irfan Yousaf, Rob Allen and debutant Noel Magnay also scored.

Irfan Yousaf sustained a back injury late on and was taken off as a precaution, but is expected to be fit to face Formby.

Stourport seconds won 8-5 at home to Nottingham with braces from Simon Chatterley and Dave Westhead and strikes from Andy Cavendish, Max Totney, Phil Baldwin and Rich Drew. They visit Belper on Saturday.

Stourport fifths earned bragging rights over the fourths with a 3-2 victory when the two teams clashed - but the fourths are still top by two points.

The fifths are in second spot, having only lost once themselves this term.

Alan Moss scored a brace and David Read was also on target for the fifths, while Paul Taylor grabbed a double for the fourths. Stourport fourths host Old Wulfrunians on Saturday with the fifths at Edgbaston.

Stourport sixths, who host Shrewsbury at 2pm on Saturday, were handed a 3-0 win by default to stay top after Leamington failed to raise a team.

There was another defeat for the sevenths who went down 2-1 at home to Blossomfield fourths despite a goal from Chris Spence. They visit Bournville on Saturday.

Stourport Badgers, effectively the club's eighth team, suffered a 5-0 defeat to Worcester and are at home to Edgbaston at 3.30pm on Saturday.

Kidderminster thirds are still riding high at the top of Division Two after battling to a 2-1 victory over Evesham.

Goals from Paul Rhodes and Peter Harler did the damage.

Richard Maw was excellent in defence, while Jimmy Thorpe and Darren Jackson were also impressive. They host Redditch on Saturday.

Chaddesley were held to their first goal-less draw for three seasons when their clash with Standard ended in a stalemate.
