MATCH HIGHLIGHTS COURTESY OF SUTV CLICK here
Paulton gave a plucky display against their slick opponents as Sutton United continue their cup tradition.
Keiran Cadoogan raced on to a through ball by Craig Eastmond to give the visitors the lead on 10 minutes.
A Tommy Wright shot was held by Rovers keeper Andy Hannah and Rovers levelled after 19 minutes as a Dale Evans corner from the left fell to captain Josh Ford to thunder home.
On the stroke of half time Wright should have put Sutton ahead but his header was weak and held by Hannah.
On the restart Sutton pressed and took the lead on 50 minutes as Wright's run and cross from the left was turned home by Cadogan.
Sutton added to the tally five minutes later as a lovely cross by left back Aswad Thomas was headed home by Louis John.
Paulton continued to take the fight to their National league visitors and pulled a goal back on 77 minutes as Camen Harvey's cross was flapped by the keeper under pressure from his own defender and Dave Sims reacted first to roll the ball into the net with the help of the post.
Good luck to Sutton in the next round
