PAULTON ROVERS 3 v 2 BIGGLESWADE TOWN

(Aside) Jon Davies slotting home Rovers winning penalty

Paulton overcame Bedfordshire side Biggleswade Town in a hum dinger second half.

A ding dong affair at Winterfield Road saw Paulton maintain their unbeaten run after a lack luster first half.

Biggleswade left winger David Hutton had an early run at the home defence and Jay Davies broke forward but the ball ran away from him.

Rovers much vaunted Jon Davies hit a great cross from the left well held by Waders keeper Ian Brown.

Then Davies was involved in Paulton's next attack working with Scott Wilson and Mitchell Page to feed Darren Jefferies whose low tight angle shot from the left was turned by Brown for a corner.

On the half hour Jefferies won the ball in midfield sent Wilson away only for him to shoot weakly into Brown's hands.

Rovers skipper Scott Brice showed an amazing and unusually fleet of foot linking with Davies and Wilson only to be thwarted again by the visiting keeper.

The second half opened brightly and Wilson brought a fine save around the post by Brown.

Rovers took the lead on 53 minutes Jefferies and Davies interchanged passed to Wilson whose shot thundered into the net with a slight deflection.

Paulton threatened with the Waders defending well and when the visitors attacked they were met with great defending from Shayne Anson partnering Brice at the heart of the defence.

Kyle Phillips pulled of a couple of fine saves from Josh Beech and on 75 minutes the lively Hutton leveled meeting a deep right wing cross from Kyal McNulty to hammer home.

Two minutes later he gave his side the lead as sub Ollie Thorne had a shot saved by Phillips he was on hand to tuck the ball into the corner of the net.

Paulton were showing they were not giving up the six match unbeaten run when two minutes later left back Sam Teale raced on to a great through ball from Ash Williams to make it 2-2.

With seven minutes left Rovers got what proved to be the winner Teale again latched on to a through ball from Williams and was impeded by right back Cam Mawer. Davies struck home the penalty clipping the inside of the post to beat a despairing Brown.

Late on Anson cleared off the line as Craig Daniel looked certain to equalise.
