ZACK LEADS THE ATTACK AS WHITES CRUISE ON

THE scoreline flattered Staines as the Whites could, and perhaps should, have won by a far wider margin.

They needed only three minutes to take the lead with home debutant Bay Downing scoring from close-in.

Salisbury’s second came on 26 minutes – Kane O’Keefe’s ball through the middle finding Zack Kotwica, who rounded keeper Manny Agboola to make the Whites more comfortable.

But they were pulled back six minutes later when Makhosini Khanye fired in a wellplaced 22-yard free kick.

In the second period, Lewis Benson tried his luck with a left-footed effort which Manny Agboola kept out, but the keeper nearly blotted his copy book shortly afterwards, letting a Tom Whelan shot squirm through his hands.

Then followed a series of chances, which could have seen the Whites out of sight.

But the third goal arrived on 65 minutes when Kotwica latched onto a Whelan throughball and made no mistake.

The Whites’ Elliot Wheeler then missed a great chance and the jitters set in as the Swans got their second through Marley Hamilton.

Salisbury finished the stronger though, with with Agboola denying Kotwica a hat-trick.
