TEN-MAN TOTTON HOLD ON FOR HOME WIN OVER SUPERMARINE
SWINDON SUPERMARINE fell short at AFC Totton, as the hosts were able to see out a 2-1 win despite the loss of Luke Bennett to a red card midway through the second half.
Totton were quick out of the blocks, having three corners within seven minutes. Charlie AUSTIN scored from the third corner, tapping in a rebound from close range after Joe Oastler’s header was saved by the goalkeeper.
Totton got their second six minutes later, after a quick counter from a Swindon corner. Tom BLAIR combined with Austin for a one-two on the left, before blasting a low shot into the bottom right.
Swindon's Michael Elias-Fernandes received the first booking of the game for dissent after 22 minutes. Eight minutes later, Totton's Tega Agberhiere was also yellow carded for pulling down Sam Turl.
Luke Bennett was booked in the 57th minute for a late challenge on Campbell, a sign of things to come for him. 10 minutes later, Bennet was controversially shown a second yellow after a supposed dive on the edge of the box, leaving Totton with 10 men with 25 minutes to go.
Swindon got their only goal of the game on 81 minutes, as a ball into the box by Elias-Fernandes fell to David SIMS-BURGESS who rifled into the top-left corner from close range.
Toby Stephens had a clear chance for the hosts late on, but blasted over from six yards.
