A 4-0 victory over Fleet Town secured Tiverton Town a second successive home victory on a mild Saturday afternoon at Ladysmead. The hosts dominated the game and goals from Jack Wannell, Jimmy Hinds, Tony Lee and Jamie Mudge gave them victory. Tivvy boss Martyn Rogers, who missed Tuesday's loss to Bishops Cleeve through illness, made two changes from the side that were defeated in midweek, with Alex Faux and Tom Gardner returning after being unavailable. They replaced George Rogers and Steve Goss respectively. Fleet, who went down 6-0 in midweek to Tivvy's neighbours Taunton, fielded a 4-5-1 formation, with the pacey Rob Carr a constant danger on the right-wing. The game got off to an open start, with Tiverton controlling the play but the visitors looking to break quickly on the counter-attack. Jimmy Hinds had two chances to open the scoring for The Yellows, as he first fired wide from 18-yards before scooping a speculative 25-yard shot over the bar when he had teammates in good positions. Fleet's best chance of the half came in the 11th minute when Jack Smith headed against the bar from a corner. Faux was forced to clear off the line after Matk Watkins' deep cross found Carr at the back the wingers' volley rolled past Tivvy goalkeeper Chris Wright. As the half progressed, Tiverton began to gain more and more control of possession and they should have opened the scoring when Owen Howe played Hinds through on goal but the midfielder shot straight at goalkeeper Ryan Pryce. The deadlock was broken in the 31st minute when captain James Richards made a great break from midfield, beating two players before playing in Jack Wannell and the Tiverton right-back cut inside before firing into the top corner to make it 1-0. Striker Tony Lee could have doubled the lead shortly before the break when he was played through on goal by Hinds but his attempt to chip Pryce was weak and the keeper saved comfortably. Lee then had a great chance to score immediately after half-time when a great cross from Faux found the on-loan Eastleigh player inside the box but he was unable to control his shot and volleyed over from six yards. Hinds made it 2-0 in the 54th minute when he showed brilliant technique to reposition his body and head Richards' cross into the top corner of the goal from 18-yards. Tivvy's third goal came in the 64th minute when Wannell's pull-back found Lee, who rolled the ball home from 18-yards. It could have been 4-0 in the 76th minute when Lee and substitute Jamie Mudge combined well, allowing Lee to get a shot away, but it was beaten away by Pryce. However, Mudge did eventually make it four when he beat one defender with a dummy before finishing from 10-yards after Howe's original shot was blocked, following a great ball over the top from substitute George Rogers. Fleet almost grabbed a consolation late on when Watkins ran through on goal, but his shot from the edge of the area was saved by the legs of Wright. Tivvy now travel to Didcot Town, hoping to record their first away win in seven matches.
