Nuno Felix header wide after Leonne Jeanne crossed and their had been good build up by Rovers captain Darren Mullings and player coach Aaron Brown.

Paulton took the lead on 14 minutes as Marion Mateus turned found Jeanne whose shot was deflected for a corner. Taken on the right by Brown it was turned home after a deft header by debutant Joe Chandler.

The Waders levelled seven minutes later as home keeper Ben John miss hit a clearance and Sam Merson turn te ball home.

Rovers were on top and took the lead after thirty one minutes after Jeanne's corner on the left was head across goal by Chandler who finished from close range.

Biggleswade made it 2-2 on forty one minute as Ifhi Effiong fastened on to a long ball from Merson to lob over the on rushing John.

Rovers applied early second half pressure as Jeanne and Chandler tested visiting keeper Ian Brown whilst Effiong again tried to lob John.

Jeanne was injured and replaced by Kelvin Douglas whose first touch brought what proved be Paulton's winner. Mullings cut in from the left fed Douglas and his curling shot from the edge of the penalty area beat the despairing Brown.

Rovers then had to fight a rear guard as Josh Ford and Alex Grimshaw mounted clearance after clearance. A rare counter attack saw Mateus out pace the defence only for Ian Brown's foot stopping Paulton increasing their lead.
