Paulton had the best of the first half yet went behind to twelfth minute goal after a flick on by Ryan Stanners found Ashley Edenborough who drove home.

Rovers had a terrific chance five minutes before as a long kick from keeper Rob Brown brought a shot from Jack Ball and Mitch Tippins effort was turned over the bar by Highworth stopper Connor Johns.

Liam Monelle twice brought saves from Johns then Ball saw his header tipped over the bar. Jay Malpas was running the show in Rovers centre of midfield.

Town's best chance was a left wing cross blasted over by Edenborough and then Tippins laid to Ball whose low drive rolls dangerously wide.

Highworth came out determined in the second period as Sam Morris tested Brown but Rovers levelled on sixty one minute as Trey Anderson's cross from the right found Evans whose shot on target was deflected past Johns to level.

However the visitors went ahead again as Toumani Sadibi turned a his low shot from the end of the area squeezed into the bottom corner of the net.

Edenborough then had a golden chance going around Brown who recovered well to snuff out.

Sidibi was proving a thorn in the side of Rovers and only last ditch defending prevented him adding to the score. Malpas then set up Ball who fired wide.

Paulton threw everything to equalised and were rewarded in added time as. Evans cross was fumbled by Johns and sub Ryan Gay thumped the ball home.
