A Kyle Tooze hat trick, sealed the win for Paulton although Lymington never gave up.

Dan Cottle, and Will Harvey, had efforts wide for Rovers, whilst home keeper Aaron Sainsbury was out smartly to snuff out Owen Fee.

Paulton went ahead; Amad Skrzyniark fouled Tooze, who converted from the spot on thirty seven minutes.

Three minutes later it was level, as Toby Bailey's through was driven past Sainsbury.

In the final minute, Sainsbury superbly tipped over the bar from Sam Shearer.

Paulton came out more determined and Chris Peck, Ed Butcher, and Martin Lenihan, set up Nuno Felix who fired wide.

Neil Martin and Dan Dempsey had little to defend and right back James Byrne raided up and down the right wing to support Harvey.

Rovers went ahead on sixty seven minutes, as Harvey's left wing corner was headed home by Tooze.

As Paulton dominated, Byrne found Cottle who slipped the ball to sub Leo Eglin, for the 19-year-old to volley past Dominic Thelen to grab his first senior goal.

Thelen pulled off a series of saves from Butcher, Harvey, and Tooze whilst Sainsbury was called into action to save Fee's shot.

On eighty five minutes, Rovers made it 4-1 as sub Paulo Borges, nipped in to beat Thelen to the ball and Tooze saw his penalty saved..
