Lower Stratton continued their strong start to their Swindon & District Division One campaign as they were resounding 9-0 winners at Swindon AFC, writes Josh Bird.

Liam New grabbed four goals for the visitors with Jamie Saunders (3) and Gavin Kay (2) also on target.

And despite winning four out of their first five league matches, manager Alan Spring is keeping his feet on the ground.

“For us at present it is going well but the season just started,” he said.

“We are only five league games in and there’s a long way to go.

“It was good to get three more points and only three of the team scored, but everyone played their part.

“It was Liam’s first full game as he has just signed back on and he finished well.

“We also had lot of chances saved by the Swindon AFC  keeper and their team did not stop working.

“And we know what that’s like, having a difficult start to the season, when you can just get a squad of 11 players or even 12 if lucky.”
