Johnston hits all four as The Bash fly

Saturday belonged to Jamie Johnston as he hit all four goals for Bashley as they made it two Pitching In Southern League Division One South wins in a row following a 4-1 victory over Paulton Rovers.

It means that after winning at Exmouth Town in their previous game and holding Evesham United to a draw prior to that, the Hampshire club have now picked up seven points from a possible nine to start to climb away from the danger zone.

“There is really good energy amongst the team now,” Johnston told his club media. “It’s been a tough time for us, but we’re starting to kick on and we’re in a good place.

“There’s a real positive attitude which is serving us well and we’re playing with confidence and belief.

“My first two goals were pretty similar where I cut inside and then found the bottom corner, the third took a little deflection, which helped it go in, and then the fourth saw me link up with Luke [Delaney] before finding the net with a nice finish.

“That’s three games in a row unbeaten now. The fans are also really getting behind us, which helps in a big way.

“With four games in a row at home coming up, we’re going to need this backing as it really does make a big difference to us.”

Bashley’s next action sees them host Malvern Town on Saturday.
