Stourbridge slip to defeat ahead of FA Cup clash
A?depleted Stourbridge side slumped to a disappointing defeat at Burnham in their final game before Saturday's FA?Cup visit to Stevenage.
Gary Hackett's men struggled on a bumpy pitch and fell to two goals from Ryan Blake in the Calor League Premier clash.
Stourbridge went behind after just nine minutes when a miscued shot by Lee Togwell ran invitingly to Blake on the right-hand side of the area and he beat Dean Coleman with a low, angled shot.
Ryan Upward and Lewis Driver both had unsuccessful attempts on Coleman's goal while Ryan Rowe went close for Stourbridge with a 28th-minute header.
The Glassboys had claims for a penalty rejected when Ben Billingham appeared to be felled in the box, and went in at the break a goal behind.
The game became increasingly stretched in the second half, with Rowe slicing a chance at one end and Coleman saving with his chest from Ashley Smith at the other.
Burnham's clincher arrived seven minutes into stoppage time.
Blake squared the ball inside to Dan Malloy and his stinging shot was parried by Coleman before Blake reacted quickest to turn the ball over the line.
