Another cup win for Marine

Supermarine saw off lower-league opposition in the FA Trophy first qualifying round on Saturday as their fine cup form this season continued.

 

Mark Collier’s side were 4-2 winners over Southern League Division One Central outfit Beaconsfield SYCOB at the Webb’s Wood Stadium, with the goals coming courtesy of Jamie Gosling, Steve Cook, Luke Hopper and Leigh Henry.

 

Marine have now hit eight goals in their last two games but boss Collier revealed afterwards that he felt it was not the best of his troops’ recent performances. “We were below par from the last few weeks,” he admitted.

 

“We were a little bit off the pace in certain areas and didn’t play with our normal tempo, but we were always in control of the game. “It was one of those games where if they had scored two we would have scored four and if they had scored four we would have scored six.”

 

Jamie Gosling put Marine in front early on with a quickly-taken free kick, before Aaron McLeish equalised after latching onto Matt Robinson’s weak back-pass and slotting home.

 

Four minutes after the break, Beaconsfield were reduced to 10 men as Gary Edwards was sent off for tripping Steve Cook in the box, but Nick Stanley’s penalty was saved. Cook then nodded Marine into a 2-1 lead and substitute Luke Hopper added another midway through the second period. McLeish grabbed his second to set the nerves of the home support jangling, but centre-back Leigh Henry made sure of the win with 15 minutes left.

Swindon Supermarine 4-2 Rams

An Arran McLeish double was not able to stop Beaconsfield SYCOB being dumped out of the FA Trophy at the first attempt. Darron Wilkinson's Southern League Division One Central side put on a brave showing at Premier League opponents Swindon Supermarine.

 

They fell behind after just 15 minutes in Wiltshire as Jamie Gosling struck but the Rams, now without a win in five league and cup outings, pulled level three minutes before the break as McLeish scored his fifth of the season. Parity lasted nine minutes after the break as Supermarine raced into a 3-1 lead through goals from Steve Cook on 54 minutes and Luke Hooper 11 minutes later.

 

McLeish handed Wilkinson's side a lifeline with his second of the game three minutes later but Leigh Henry wrapped up the win for Swindon with 15 minutes to go.
