Ejay Smith opened the scoring with a well taken penalty in the first half. After some good build up play by Elliot Eyre, Ollie Brunton burst through the Trowbridge defence and rifled a shot into bottom right corner to take the score to for a 2-0 cushion.

In the second half, Ollie Phillips got on the score sheet with a perfectly timed run to the back post. Jay Devine scored the goal of the match in the dying minutes, timing his header to perfection from a Sarum corner, guiding the ball into the top left corner to put the game beyond Trowbridge.

"The squad are enjoying their inaugural season in the Mid Wilts and are rising to the challenge."
