Paulton went down 4-1 to Biggleswade Town despite having even possesion..

They were hit by an opening goal from a 25 yard strike from Sam Mersonafter 32 minutes.

Earlier Andy Iweuno had hit the top of the cross bar for the Waders who saw skipper Craig Daniel raced on past Rovers defence and his cross shot was dragged wide and Paulton had a chance when Jordan Ricketts shot over the bar.

It was 2-0 after fifty two minutes as Tony Burnett header found Merson who hit a firm low shot past Ben John.

The home side got a third six minutes later when Daniel broke down the right and hit his low drive past John.

This brought a good of play by Paulton neat build up but no end product. Cameron Brown and Ross Staley had several shots deflected for corners'

The fourth goal for Biggleswade in the sixty seventh minutes was a scrappy affair as Burnett hit the post and right back Max York mishit the ball into the net.

Again Rovers battled on and were rewarded on 86 minutes as a ball down the right from Alex Grimshaw saw Ben Bament out pace the defence round the keeper and rolled the ball into an empty net.
