Rovers lose on first run out

Paulton's first pre season friendly saw them beaten by Bitton playing their third.

With a host of former Paulton players their experience showed against John Rendell's side fielding 23 players including a large number of trialists.

Rovers wasted three presentable early chances as Jack Ball, Ben Withey and Sam Jordan impressed before seeing their going behind against the run of play as Mario Mateus found Dean Griffiths to score past Rob Brown in the Paulton goal.

Then on the stroke of half time a well taken from kick from Dave Marsh made it 2-0.

Griffiths brought a superb save from sub keeper Adam Forster as a host of replacement took the edge of an otherwise absorbing encounter.

In the dying minutes Ben Bament was put through by Mateus to finish off well before Forster was again sharp to snuff out danger.

Despite the result a chance for Rendell to assess his squad as moves on to the next friendly at Cribbs on Saturday 3-00 [b[/b]K-0 pm.
