The match kicked off at 3.07 p.m. and was preceded by a period of silence and reflection to remember the 96 people who died in the Hillsborogh tragedy 25 years ago. Paulton secured all three points,

keeping them in the play-off hunt, against Bridgwater Town, who had the overall balance of play.

Nick McCootie hit an early cross shot that no-one got on the end of. Bridgey responded when Kazim Rendell tested home keeper, Kyle Phillips.

McCootie had a chance to put Rovers ahead, but shot weakly. Marcus Mapstone, filling in at left back, was preventing the dangerous Rendell from threatening the home goal.

Paulton lost central defender, Ryan Batten, just before half-time. The experienced Dean Flockton came on for his debut. The former Thatcham Town Captain has recently moved to the area and provided solid resistance. The last action of the half saw Jake Mawford hit a firm shot straight into Phillips' hands.

Rovers came out with more determination and Mike Perrott and Captain, Dan Cleverley, combined to find Saul Williams before Nathan Rudge stopped his advance.

Paulton hit the only goal of the game after 56 minutes. McCootie sent Luke Ballinger down the right wing and his cross was met by Perrott to head into the net.

Phillips pulled off two saves from Tom Knighton, who also had a shot blocked by Stuart Tovey.

Rovers had a great chance to make it 2–0 when Mapstone broke up an attack on seventy minutes and passed to McCootie, who cut inside, laid the ball to Ballinger and his shot across goal was cleared off the line by Bater.

Bridgey tried to get the equaliser they deserved, but Mapstone, Dean Flockton and Scott Brice held firm, although Karl Tooze saw two shots held by Phillips.

Team: Kyle Phillips, Stuart Tovey, Ryan Batten (sub 44 mins Dean Flockton), Marcus Mapstone, Scott Brice,
