A Lewis Thompson brace inspired Royal Wootton Bassett Town to another deserved victory as they defeated Longlevens 4-1.

The benefits hard work brings are all too evident at the moment for Royal Wootton Bassett Town.

Another strong outing full of effort yielded another three points as Bassett recorded an impressive 4-1 away victory against Longlevens.

Lewis Thompson, on loan from Swindon Supermarine, led the way for Rich Hunter's side, as he twice gave Bassett the lead, while a quickfire two goal salvo from Henry Spalding and the ever reliable Steve Robertson made certain that the spoils would be coming back to Wiltshire.

Since taking over the managerial reins, Hunter and assistant Derek Hamilton have instilled the virtues of discipline, organisation and, most important of all, working hard for the team. And that is reaping benefits, with this latest result making it ten points from the last available twelve.

Outstanding in the opening half hour, the visitors got the goal their early showing deserved when Thompson struck his first midway through the period.

However Bassett were punished for allowing their performance to drop just a little when Brad Martin netted his eighth of this nascent campaign.

Thompson's second just after the hour opened the game up.

Ten minutes later, fellow winger Henry Spalding got in on the act to add some cushion to his side's advantage.

Robertson's strike, which followed moments later, then put the result beyond doubt, sealing another well merited victory.
