Paulton Rovers 6 - 0 Longwell Green

Paulton started the better of the two sides with Jack Fillingham chipping the opposing keeper only for it to land in the side netting.

Will Hailston’s shot ten minutes in was put behind for a corner and three minutes later, Tyler Jackson’s cross from the far side was missed by everyone and went out for a throw in.

Longwell Greens first chance came in the twenty second minute with a shot going over the bar.

Paulton made the breakthrough in the twenty sixth minute with Dave O’Hares shot being parried by the keeper down to Jack Fillingham who slotted into an empty net from half way into the Longwell green half.

Fillingham doubled the lead five minutes later as he slotted through a crowded box past the keeper to make it 2-0.

On the forty minute mark, Fillingham got his hat-trick after back heeling Jackson’s cross into the net.

Within thirty seconds of the restart and with a whole new squad, Rovers made it 4-0 as Ryan Gay’s Scissor kick flew past the keeper into the net.

Liban Ibrahim and Jake Sloggett both tried to add to the scoreline but both efforts missed the target.

Dan Cottle made it five, an hour into the game after he slotted the ball home from close range.

Three minutes later, Braeden Symes slotted home from a corner to make it 6-0 and round off the victory.
