Tiverton Town are sunk by dominant visitors
Tiverton Town's hopes of three Evo-Stik League Southern Division One South and West points on Saturday came to nothing when they were sunk by Swindon Supermarine at Ladysmead.
The margin of the visitors' away win did not flatter the Wiltshire side, who fully deserved the 2-0 success which left them in third place in the league table and kept Tivvy down in tenth spot.

The hosts' margin of defeat could have been greater. Tivvy goalkeeper Chris Wright saved a Josh Parsons penalty in the third minute and then Parsons sent a shot against the crossbar in the 15th minute, moments before Wright did well to save a strike from Ashley Edenborough.
The pressure paid off after half an hour, when Chris Taylor smashed home a low shot after being set up by Ron Dean to give Supermarine the lead. The visitors continued to hold the upper hand after the half-time break, but they did not extend their advantage until eight minutes before the final whistle.
