Westbury United have claimed their first victory in the Wiltshire Premier Shield, with Ryan Bole, Joe Stradling, and Stephen Hulbert leading the team to a 3-0 win against Swindon Town.
The Robins opened strongly at the County Ground on Tuesday night, but fell behind nine minutes into the game with a goal from Bole from the box's edge.
Five minutes later, Westbury's captain's header was stopped by the crossbar, but they soon made it 2-0 with a deflected shot from Stradling after Gary Higdon's setup.
Despite Fletcher Hubbard's left-footer, Swindon remained scoreless, while Sonny Hart prevented Harvey Flippance from scoring in the 30th minute.
Flynn Hamilton's low-driven shot did not keep his aim on target after 38 minutes.
Swindon made several changes at the 60-minute mark, but a disallowed goal and penalty allowed Westbury to secure a 3-0 victory.
Finn Adams, Archie Milne, and Tom Wynn-Davis joined the game for Swindon late, but Westbury held onto their lead to win the coveted title.
It was the first time the White Horse Men had made it to the final in 30 years after they beat Melksham in the semi-final in March in what was a tense affair.
Charlie Walton, Dan Price and Toby Dolton-Cole netted for Westbury in a 3-2 victory.
