Swindon 2 Carlisle 0 

Coca-Cola League One

RESULT: Swindon Town 2 Carlisle 0 

Town scorers: Austin 31, Paynter 54

 

sorry, no fans' view today - back on Tuesday

 
A worrying injury to defender Gordon Greer took the shine off another convincing home win for Town.

 

The captain, who alongside man-of-the-match Sean Cuthbert snuffed out any Carlisle threat, limped off with five minutes to go with an ankle injury.

 

"We hope it's just a twist," commented Danny Wilson, "because that was a superb defensive display from us today and we'll need him on Tuesday."

 

Can't stop scoring: number 13 from Austin (above) followed by number 20 from Billy Paynter, who then celebrated sumo-style with Alan Sheehan calyx multimedia

 

The win set up by goals 32 and 33 from Swindon's in-form strikeforce of Austin and Paynter.

 

The first an individual effort from Austin, his thirteenth of the season, before Paynter flicked home the all important second goal (see first pic below) after an excellent delivery from Alan Sheehan.

 

The win extends Town's unbeaten run to eleven and maintains their strong fifth position in League One.
