Brackley 3 Stourbridge 0
A misfiring Stourbridge could have few complaints as they fell to a 3-0 defeat away at Brackley which extended their run to just two points from their last six league games.
Despite a promising start that twice saw Stourbridge go close, the hosts controlled the game for the most part.
Nathan Bennett threatened first for Stourbridge with a header that bounced over the bar following a corner from Les Hines.
A minute later a long goal-kick from Lewis Solly was missed by defender Wayne Blossom and Calum Martin headed the ball onto Linden Dovey, whose early 20-yard volley drew a good save from Richard Knight.
Brackley then settled and started to ask questions of the visiting defence and they forged ahead in the 26th minute. Elliott Sandy fastened onto a pass from Jon Brady andtucked home past Solly.
The home side doubled their advantage on 58 minutes when a quick break ended with new signing Mark Rawle firing a low shot past Solly.
Stourbridge introduced Shane Benjamin for his debut following his signing from Shepshed, as they looked to get back into the game.
A rising shot from Kyle Hadley was tipped over the bar by Knight on 62 minutes and three minutes later Leon Broadhurst found the net with a header from a Hines free-kick but his effort was ruled out for offside.
Brackley wrapped the game up with a third goal twenty minutes from time. The impressive Sandy again the provider as he slipped the ball through for Tom Winters to score.
