Stourbridge booked their place in the next round of the FA Trophy with a composed 2-0 victory over Loughborough University. The visitors struck in each half, with goals in the 36th and 77th minutes, to underline their superiority on the day and keep the hosts at bay throughout a largely controlled encounter. Loughborough University struggled to impose themselves, failing to find the net and unable to muster a response to Stourbridge’s efficient attacking play. With no cards or notable disciplinary incidents, the match unfolded in a sporting spirit, but the gulf in clinical edge proved decisive as Stourbridge capitalized on their chances to secure a deserved win.

Key Moments
36' — Goal
Stourbridge take the lead, breaking the deadlock and seizing control of the tie.
77' — Goal
Stourbridge double their advantage, effectively sealing their progression.
Loughborough University
Loughborough University found themselves outmatched in both penalty areas, unable to breach the Stourbridge defence and ultimately conceding twice. Despite home advantage, they failed to register a goal or mount a sustained attacking threat, and were left chasing the game after conceding late in the first half. Their inability to respond after falling behind, and again after the second goal, reflected a lack of cutting edge and perhaps experience at this level.

Tactical Analysis
With no lineup or formation data available, tactical specifics are limited, but Stourbridge’s approach was clearly effective: they kept things tight at the back and struck at opportune moments. Their ability to score in both halves suggests a balanced game plan, combining defensive solidity with well-timed forays forward. Loughborough University, meanwhile, struggled to adapt after conceding, unable to find a way through the visitors’ defence and lacking the attacking impetus to change the game’s direction.
Turning Point
The opening goal in the 36th minute, which gave Stourbridge control and forced Loughborough University onto the back foot.

Loughborough University vs Stourbridge: Match Preview
Loughborough University enter this FA Trophy tie with real momentum, having strung together four straight wins across competitions. Their recent run includes a dramatic 4-3 home victory over Chasetown and a gritty 2-1 away win at Stamford, suggesting a side with both attacking punch and the nerve to edge close contests. Stourbridge, meanwhile, have steadied themselves after a brief stumble, claiming consecutive wins over Leighton Town and Worcester City, and scoring three goals in each of their last two away matches.
Statistically, this matchup pits two in-form attacks against defences that have shown vulnerabilities. Loughborough average 1.8 goals scored and 1.2 conceded over their last five, while Stourbridge post 1.6 for and 0.8 against. Both have managed just one clean sheet in that span, and each has seen BTTS land in three of their last five. Notably, Loughborough’s home FA Trophy games have been high-scoring affairs, and Stourbridge’s away record in the competition is similarly lively.
With neither side keeping the back door shut consistently and both riding a wave of confidence, the model expects a contest shaped by attacking intent and momentum. The most plausible scenario sees both teams on the scoresheet early, with the game remaining open into the second half. A 2-2 draw is the likeliest outcome, reflecting the balance between Loughborough’s home edge and Stourbridge’s recent attacking form.
