Hampton & Richmond scorer: E Frost 86

Swindon scorer: S Cox 20, 67

 

A Simon Cox double eased Swindon to a comfortable 2-1 victory over non-league Hampton & Richmond.

 

The in-form striker has now scored 6 goals in 5 games as he looks to start the season with a bang.

 

Trialist Mark Marshall also shone in the game as he looks to earn himself a professional contract at the club.

 

Elliot Frost gave the home fans something to cheer about with a consolation goal late on.

 

With another game tomorrow night against Sailsbury boss Maurice Malpas will no doubt be looking to give a few of the fringe players a run out ahead of the new season.
