SOUTHAM UNITED 0

STONEHOUSE TOWN 1

Marszalek 75'

A second half strike by former Cheltenham Town youth player Jurek Marszalek was the difference between the two sides as Stonehouse Town turned the tables on Southam United who had inflicted a home defeat on them when the two clubs met at the Ben's Takeaway Stadium back in late November.

That day, Southam had overcome a half-time deficit to win 2-1 thanks to goals from Craig Watkin and Shane Osborne, but this time they didn't find the net over the 90 minutes, failing to score for the first time since before Christmas.

It wasn't the happy ending that assistant manager Ryan Champkins would have hoped for in his 50th competitive match in the dugout and Southam have to re-group and prepare for Tuesday's trip to Shortwood United who climbed to fifth place after a 4-1 win over FC Stratford.
