It's now four straight wins and three league clean sheets in a row for Royal Wootton Bassett Town after they sealed a convincing 3-0 away win against Highmoor Ibis.
A combination of another outstanding defensive display and clinical second half finishing helped Rich Hunter's in-form side to their latest triumph, which was their most emphatic of the season so far.
Highmoor were arguably the better side in the opening period. But they field to translate their possession into meaningful shots on goal.
And it was Bassett who were able to snatch the lead on the stroke of half time when Ben Lodge was brought down in the box and the ever reliable Steve Yeardley slotted home from twelve yards.
Their advantage could even have been doubled before the interval as Kai Robinson went close from Harvey Scholes' outstanding delivery.
Bassett upped their game following the restart and a further two goals helped seal a deserved victory.
Substitute Sam Collier, who had earlier missed a one-on-one, made it 2-0 as he struck home from 25 yards after build up play for Ryan Withers, who was making his first Hellenic League appearance of the season after enjoying a great start to the campaign for the Development team.
Withers then continued to make his case for a first team place as he brilliantly set up Scholes' goal shortly before the end.
