Stratford regained the advantage just before half‑time when Steve Mancini’s shot was parried by the goalkeeper, allowing Garry Liversage to react quickest and score from a tight angle.

The second half started brightly for Stratford, with more impressive passing football. However, a series of running offences resulted in Worcester being awarded a penalty, which they converted to make it 2–2.

With the game finely balanced, Doug Neal stepped up when it mattered most. Two excellent team moves were finished off by Neal, whose clinical strikes secured the victory and capped an outstanding midfield performance. Neal now joins Liversage as the club’s joint leading scorer in the league.
