South West & South East Round-Up

Swindon Supermarine moved into fourth place in the Evo-Stik League South West table on Tuesday night, while Bideford AFC moved from tenth to sixth and knock AFC Totton out of the play-off places with a win at Testwood Stadium.

Supermarine won 3-0 at North Leigh, taking the lead 6 minutes before the break when the returning Callum Parsons volleyed home.

Defender Joe Shepherd doubled `Marine`s lead on 57 minutes with a header, and then 7 minutes from time, sub George Kellow fired home number three.

Bideford got off to a great start in Hampshire, scoring twice inside the opening 5 minutes through Ben Seymour and Ben Carter.

Jack Smith pulled one back for the Stags after 14 minutes and then right on the stroke of half-time, Toby Adekunle equalised.

Midway through the second half, the home side had a great chance to take the lead when they were awarded a penalty, but Charlie Gunson smacked his spot-kick against the crossbar.

The Stags assistant-manager Adam Wilde was sent from the bench after a heated discussion following a foul by Bideford`s Ryan Turner, who was booked.

And then Kevin Squire popped up to give the Devonians a 75th minute lead.

AFC Totton`s chances of pulling back on level terms diminished when Dave Allen was shown a second yellow card in the 81st minute.

Bishops Cleeve were hoping to back up last weekend`s third win of the season against Slimbridge when they hosted Cirencester Town, but the Mitres suffered a 1-0 defeat, courtesy of Ellis Dunton`s goal 20 minutes from time.

The only game in the Evo-Stik South East on Tuesday saw Hartley Wintney return to the top six after beating tenth-placed Thame United at The ASM Stadium.

Liam Eagle gave the visitors the boost of an early 4th minute lead.

Jake Baxter doubled that 9 minutes later.

And victory was confirmed for the Hampshire side with a Dean Stow penalty 7 minutes from time.
