Match Report by Ned Payne (Swindon Advertiser)

Marine end their top-half hoodoo

Swindon Supermarine stunned in-form Brackley as they romped to a 4-1 success at St James Park in the Southern Premier.

 

It was the first time the South Marston side had won away against a team in the current top half this season, as they secured their second league win in a row.

 

Ben Wells, joint boss Matt Robinson, Luke Hopper and Mitch Bryant did the damage but Brackley were left to regret the cheap nature of the goals they gave away.

 

Wells opened the scoring after 12 minutes when he latched onto a through-ball and easily beat Stuart Dorrill in the home goal. Elliott Sandy rattled the crossbar with a header before the hosts equalised on 52 minutes as Steve Basham slammed home a penalty.

 

But Brackley were on terms for less than two minutes as Matt Robinson nodded home unmarked from a corner. An error from substitute Joe Magunda allowed Luke Hopper the opportunity to score and Michael Chennells rattled the woodwork, as it became evident it was not to be Brackley’s day. Mitch Bryant completed the scoring when he let fly from 25 yards and Dorrill let the shot squeeze past him at the near post.

Match Report from a BRACKLEY perspective....when and if published that is as for some reason over the past two seasons when we have beaten Brackley the club website fails to show a report on the 'Match Reports' page, other than when they defeated us 1-0 in the FA Cup in 2009?
