Exmouth Town end winless run with 2-0 Paulton victory

Boosted by the return from injury of Ross Edwards, Town dominated this match and should have won by more.

Six minutes into the game Matt Wright fired wide with just the ’keeper to beat and then Edwards, having seen his original shot saved, blasted the rebound way over the crossbar.

Town finally made their superiority count twenty-seven minutes into the match.

Aarron Denny, who was influential throughout the game, picked up a loose clearance to waltz his way past defenders and bury his shot into the bottom corner.

Town were largely untroubled throughout the first half, and the second half followed a similar pattern.

Denny fired straight at the ’keeper before doubling the lead with sixty-three minutes played.

Ben Steer beat his marker down the left and crossed low and hard into the six-yard box where a defender deflected the cross into the path of Denny to smash the ball home.

As Town continued to press forward Ollie Knowles saw his free kick bring an excellent save from the overworked Paulton ’keeper and apart from one shot that was saved Paulton had little to offer going forward.

The win has seen Town climb to fourteenth in the table with 18 points from 14 games played and with games in hand over the sides above them.

This Saturday they are home again when Bristol Manor Farm are the visitors.

They are currently bottom of the league with a solitary win over Slimbridge and seven draws from their seventeen games played.

In contrast Town travel to Weymouth on Tuesday evening who are proudly sitting at the top of the table three points clear of the chasing pack.

With thirteen wins from fifteen games played they have suffered just one reversal and defeated Town 5-2 in the reverse fixture.
