A lively start saw both sides go close with headers from corners, Stourbridge defender Jessy Bavanganga heading off the line.

But Long Eaton took the lead on 33 minutes when a great passing move between Zayn Hakeem and Joseph Nyahwema waw finished off by Keiran Walker.

Luke Benbow equalised from the spot after Niall Flint was pushed in the box five minutes before the break.

Flint put Stourbridge in front on 67 minutes when he got the ball 20 yards out, turned and neatly put the ball inside rather left hand post.

Alex Prosser sealed it for Stourbridge in injury time when his hard shot from an angle was saved by goalkeeper Ross Durrant's legs but the ball squirmed up and through his hands to make it 3-1.
