Paulton early pressure paid off as Dale Evans right win corner was firmly headed home by defender Joe Chandler.

Chandler was immediately called on to show his defensive strength clear from 'The Magpie's'striker Toby Holmes,

Josh Morgan-Williams was linking up with Jack Ball as Rovers pressed but Wimborne were dangerous on the break although no end product.

Josh Cann floated a free kick which Chandler headed narrowly wide. Guest and Evans were working hard to create chances for Paulton.

Sesay twice showed his class racing out to smother pass destined for Toby Holmes whilst Luke Holmes was stopped by a sound tackle by Rovers skipper Josh Ford.

Evans free kick on fifty eighty minutes should have been headed home by Ball as the home side pressed to add to the scoring.

Toby Holmes had a great chance to levelled as his shot from Luke Burbidge's corner missed the target.

A decision which astonished everyone from both sides.
