SWINDON Supermarine boss Lee Spalding believes his team is fully capable of causing an upset in the FA Trophy on Saturday when Marine travel to Bath City. Spalding’s men go into the third-round tie as underdogs against the National League South outfit, but the Supermarine boss has full confidence in his squad and is eyeing the chance to progress deep into the competition. Speaking to Your Sport Swindon, Spalding said: “It’s a big game, and one everyone is looking forward to. “Especially after last week, with the penalty shootout win, I’m sure all the boys are looking forward to this one, as are the fans and anyone else associated with the club.

SWINDON Supermarine booked their spot in the FA Trophy second round at the weekend after edging past Isthmian Premier League high-flyers Carshalton Athletic in a penalty shootout at the Webbswood Stadium. Following a tight and battling 90 minutes that produced no goals, 34-year-old Martin Horsell was Marine’s hero as he produced three saves throughout a 5-4 success for Lee Spalding’s side. As a result of their shootout win, Marine have booked a second round tie against either Bath City or Chelmsford City - both of National League South - this coming Saturday.
