FA Cup 1st Round Proper: Swindon Town 3 1 Walford Town Att 5,703
Swindon ease to victory
Swindon Town enjoyed a comfortable 3-1 victory over Walford Town.
Although the Wally's dream of a third only ever appearance in the 2nd round proper was destroyed in the first 10 minutes, the win was thoroughly deserved for Swindon who turned their superiority into goals in the FA Cup First Round game at the County Ground on Saturday.
Central defender Lloyd Jones got Swindon off to a great start by scoring from 22 yards which hit the inside of the post before crossing the line on 6 minutes.
Town's main forward Islam Feruz doubled Swindon's lead with a fine header on just 10 minutes to turn Walford's great day out into a potential thrashing.
Norris scored with a unstoppable well struck effort into the top right corner from 20 yards in the 28th minute to extend the lead even further.
The last goal of the game came in the form of an embarrasing own goal by Lloyd Jones: an incident which will undoubtedly have caused him some embarrassment, and will also be on shown on soccer blooper reels for years to come!
