Robins inflict rout

Gerard Buxton Sports Ground, Saturday 15th October 2016

A dismal second half performance condemned Royal Wootton Bassett Town to a 6-0 home defeat against Bracknell Town.

Royal Wootton Bassett Town fell to their heaviest defeat of the season as they were torn apart by Bracknell Town in a horroshow of a second half, which saw Rich Hunter's side conceded five times. Those goals, combined with that scored by TJ Bohane on the stroke of half time, thus condemned Bassett to a 6-0 loss and continues the stranglehold the Robins have in games between the two teams.

While having their backs against the walls in the first half, Bassett were very much still in the game at the break, despite trailing to Bohane's stunning free kick moments before the interval.

But the home side fell apart completely following the restart.

Jamie McClurg slotted home from close range on 53 minutes before Adam Cornell scored from a similar distance with quarter of an hour to go.

The destination of the points was obvious after that goal went in. Yet you'd have expected Bassett to fight until the end and try and muster some form of consolation.

Instead they folded. Bohane inflicted more damage on the side he began the season with, scoring with another fine left foot finish, this time from open play.

George Short provided the fifth, heading in from a corner after finding himself unmarked, before Carl Davies compounded Bassett's misery from the penalty spot in the last minute.
