PAULTON ROVERS 0 v 0 SWINDON SUPERMARINE

Winterfield Road saw a fantastic game against Swindon Supermarine with both keepers starred in a even first half with many chances falling to each side. How it ended up goalless is mind boggeling.

Former youth team stopper Jon Harvey making his debut made sharp saves from Connor Thompson then George Reid whilst his opposite number Connor Johns prevent Will Hailston and twice Kane Simpson giving the home side the advantage.

Then Joe Chandler headed over Marine's cross bar and Kailan Gould shot narrowly wide.

Harvey held a low drive from Joe Selman, then a header by Connor Waldon whilst Johns blocked at the end of a fine Rovers move.

On half time Paulton captain Josh Ford saw his looping header dip over Johns and the bar.

The second half was more of the same with as Harvey saved from Reid than held on from Shepherd's shot and Reid's header.

Paulton carved out chances from subs Ryan Radford and Reeko Best whilst Elliott Gibbons set up Jordan Ricketts as Johns was called upon to keeps the game ven.

Marine left back Jack Alexander dribbled into the area had his first shot blocked then blasted wide.

Rovers should have scored as Sol Wheatley crossed and Best and Radford must wonder how they missed the target.

In the final minute Wheatley again drove in from the right and his volley hit the Marine cross bar.
