SWINDON Supermarine J maintained their perfect run this season and booked their place in the semi-finals of the Wiltshire County U13 Cup following a 2-1 win at Royal Wootton Bassett Town Blue.

There was little between the two sides and after a slow start, it was the visitors who had the first chance when Owen Spavins saw his shot well saved.

Joah Hall followed up with another chance from the resulting corner.

The hosts saw a header go wide with their first opportunity of the game before Hall went close for the Supermarine youngsters.

Josh Pickett kept the scores level when making a fine save, however, the Marine keeper was unable to prevent Bassett from taking the lead from the resulting corner.

Pickett came to the rescue to keep his side in the tie when he pulled off a couple of fine saves either side of a Spavins flicked header from a corner from inside the box, which he saw cleared off the line.

The South Marston outfit had a good spell before the break when Spavins, Max Townsend and Rhys Ward all went close before Luke Legg saw his close-range volley comfortably saved.

After the interval, Hall saw another opportunity go wide before Harley-Shaun Platt found Spavins with a long ball.

The Supermarine player went through one-on-one, however, the Bassett stopper did well to smother the ball.

The hosts came back at Marine and Pickett was again forced into action and from his clearance, the visitors hit Bassett on the counter.

James Hirst fired in a shot that hit the post and the rebound fell to Spavins but his effort was straight at the Bassett stopper.

Marine equalised when some good play between Platt, Spavins and Legg saw the latter fire home.

This goal was what the visitors needed and they soon got their noses in front when there they were awarded a spot-kick from a hand ball incident from a free-kick from outside the penalty box, which Hall duly dispatched.
