Rushall Olympic 0 Royston Town 3 - Report

It was the visitors who dominated the opening exchanges and they went close straight from the kick-off when Rushall goalkeeper Joe Slinn made a fine save to keep out Josh Potton`s fierce shot.

Vance Bola then went close seeing two efforts blocked on the line and it was Slinn who again saved the home side tipping Potton`s header over the line.

Against the run of play it was the home side who were almost in front when Justin Richards` looping header beat Harry Smart but crashed off the bar before being cleared.

Three minutes before the break Ben Martin`s header was inches over the bar and then Castiglione was thwarted once more by Slinn

Six minutes into the second half Ashley Sammons saw his fierce shot cannon off the bar but then the visitors took over and dominated the rest of the half.

They took the lead in the seventy first minute when Rohdell Gordon found Bola and the striker hammered a left foot shot into the bottom corner of the net.

Eight minutes later Bola doubled the lead when he was on hand to side-foot the ball home and with just two minutes remaining he returned the compliment for Gordon to round off the scoring and complete a miserable afternoon for the home side.
