Last Saturday Swindon Supermarine finally got to play their first match under the new management team of Ken Turner and Tony Webb at the 4th time of asking following the bad weather and having games called off. In which time Ken and Tony was able to have a look at the squad in training sessions and also make several new signings. We would like to take this chance to thank the former management team of Martyn and Chris Robinson and wish them all the very best in what ever they have decided to do.
 
Saturday saw Swindon Supermarine play Cricklade Town reserves in the Reserve challenge cup and on paper looked a very tough fixture to start the new era. Cricklade been on a great run which has seen them top of the reserves division 2 west league, Supermarine also handed many players a debut for the club and also included players from the supermarine under 18 team of which craig Mooney started his first game at left back. It took Supermarine 15 minutes to get going but once they finally got their they never looked back Ben Read opened the scoring just before the break but that goal was quickly followed up by a debut goal from Luke Preston who has impressed since his transfer for Wootton Bassett. After the break supermarine came out all guns firing again and it was soon 3-0 again another Goal from on fire striker Ben Read. during the second half several fine tackles from Skipper Gavin Cook helped marine on there way but just before the end Sub Dave Lovejoy make the game safe and make sure that marine has a home tie against local rivals Highworth town.
