Paulton recent fine run can down with a bump at rainy wind swept Stratford Town
who mastered the conditions better to seal victory.

Leon Jeanne broke down the left and cut along the by-line only for his cross to be cleared.

Town took the lead on 10 minute after Josh Ford fouled Aaron Moses-Garvey who took the free kick met by a glancing header from Michael McGrath.

Paulton lost the ball in midfield picked up by Jamie Sheldon to hit home a twenty five yard low drive to make it 2-0.

Aaron Brown tested home keeper Andy Kemp who under pressure punched the ball away. Then Kyle Tooze drove over from distance.

Stratford made it 3-0 after thirty one minutes after neat build up Dior Angus chipped the ball sneakily past Ben John.

If Rovers hoped to benefit from the wind Stratford had other ideas and as much as Tony Ricketts men pressed the found their opponents largely keeping the ball on the floor.

Jeanne had several crosses headed clear and captain Darren Mullings did well to control flick the ball over his marker only for his half volley to wiz past the post.
