Rovers settle for replay

Overall a fair result as both sides battled for the winner but had to settle for a replay at Basingstoke Town on Tuesday.

Paulton started quickly and Liam Monelle's pass to Ryan Gay nearly saw a chance at near post.

Camen Harvey's cross from the left was headed narrowly over by Joe Hillard and then Gay had a goal disallowed on 18 minutes.

Against the run of play The Dragons scored with a 25 yard drive from George Bennett set up by Zidane Akers.

Paulton levelled on 35 minutes as Mitch Tippins and Ben Withey laid back to Harvey who hit a pile driver giving Basingstoke stopper Colm McAdden no chance.

The visitors pressed early in the second period as Akers shot was blocked by Jamie Laird and the Rovers defender was on hand to clear from Sam Smart.

Monelle shot over and was involved in a move with Gay and Evans with McAdden holding then the keeper pulled off a double save from first Gay then from Withey. Young Rovers sub Jordan Lovibond broke on the right and lobbed his volley wide.
