Cup Triumph for Swindon Supermarine

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South club Swindon Supermarine put some silverware into the Webbswood Stadium boardroom after winning the Wiltshire Premier Shield on Tuesday night at Swindon Town.

Lee Spalding’s side beat Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division outfit Corsham Town 5-2.

Appropriately, it was the manager`s son Henry who gave `Marine a 22nd minute lead with a shot that went in under the Corsham keeper.

It was 2-0 on the half-hour mark when Conor McDonagh pounced on a loose ball after the Corsham keeper Rob Brown had parried Matt Britton’s initial effort.

However, right on the stroke of half-time, the Step 5 side reduced the deficit with a Gary Higdon header from a corner.

And on 58 minutes, `Marine keeper Martin Horsell was beaten again when Matty Jenkins set up Aysa Corrick to net from close range to make it 2-2.

Then, on 70 minutes, shortly after Horsell had made a fine save to deny Higdon, Supermarine re-took the lead when substitute Harry Williams headed in a Spalding cross.

Kieran Phillips then made it 4-2 in the 89th minute with a close-range finish and 6 minutes into stoppage time, Spalding added his second to make it a nap hand for his father’s team.
