BetVictor Southern League Division One South side Thatcham Town romped in to the Second Qualifying Round of the 2019/20 FA Trophy with a 4-1 win at Swindon Supermarine.
The Kingfishers hit four goals in the opening 33 minutes to shock their higher division opponents with Kyle Tooze starting things off after just four minutes.

The Kingfishers didn’t have it all their own way though, Supermarine pulled one back on 64 minutes and Callum Willmoth received a second yellow card on 89 minutes.
