Mark Cooper Post-Match Interview
Video by Swindon Town FC
Although the heartbreak of Wembley seems like only yesterday, the Swindon Town players were back in action last night as they travelled to local rivals Swindon Supermarine.
Town manager Mark Cooper opted to field a comparatively young lineup for their debut fixture, with a handful of trialists donning a Robins shirt for the first time.
But despite the somewhat inexperienced lineup, Swindon made a strong start to the game with much of the opening 45 minutes spent firmly camped in the opposition half.
But Supermarine hadn't read the script, and Luke Hopper popped up to take advantage of some sloppy Town marking on a set piece mid-way through the first half.
Town continued to press, and parity was finally restored with 30 minutes left on the clock.
The impressive Supermarine weren't done yet though, and with a little over 10 minutes left on the clock - they struck again.
Sam Morris turning in a rebound off the bar and sending the home fans into raptures.
