Martyn Rogers hopes more fans will return to Ladysmead after Tiverton Town made it two wins on the bounce at home. The Yellows beat lowly Fleet Town 4-0 on Saturday with goals from Jack Wannell, Jimmy Hinds, Tony Lee and Jamie Mudge. Manager Rogers, who returned to the dugout after missing last week's 2-1 defeat at Bishops Cleeve due to illness, was delighted with the way the supporters got behind his players on Saturday. "It's two good home wins, which is nice," he said. "The crowd behind the goal were brilliant today, as they sang their heads off. "They certainly make an atmosphere here at the moment, so if we can get a few more to join them, then it'll be a nice place to come. "We want to get the fans back as there's an honest bunch of lads here." The hosts created several chances before Wannell opened the scoring after 31 minutes, with Hinds going close on three occasions. After skipper James Richards beat two players to set up right-back Wannell, Lee could have doubled the lead but Tivvy went in at the break 1-0 to the good. Lee then had a great chance to score immediately after half-time when a cross from Alex 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 headed Richards' cross into the top corner from 18 yards. Tivvy's third goal came in the 64th minute when Wannell's pull-back found Lee, who rolled the ball home. Substitute Jamie Mudge made it 4-0 when he beat a defender with a dummy before finishing from 10 yards after Howe's original shot was blocked. Fleet almost grabbed a consolation late on when Mark Watkins ran through on goal, but his shot from the edge of the area was saved by the legs of Chris Wright. Manager Rogers was impressed with the way his players went about the game. "I was very, very pleased," he said. "The team worked their socks off and they controlled large parts of the game. "To be fair to Fleet, I thought they played some good football in the first half but, in the second half, we really put them to the sword. "We probably could have got five or six but I'm delighted with the clean sheet and four goals. Not too many injuries, too, which is good. "They hit the bar early on and sometimes that can change games but we had a lot of chances. You can't really complain about 4-0 at home." Tiverton Town: Wright, Wannell, Faux (Rogers, 75), Bye, Weeks, Garnder, Hinds (Western, 61), Richards (Mudge, 66), Howe, Lee, Hedari. Subs not used: Goss, Seymour. Attendance: 163
