Hellenic League Cup

Stonehouse Town 3

Royal Wootton Bassett 5

STONEHOUSE boss Phil Orsborn heaped praise on his side after they more than matched Hellenic Premier outfit Royal Wootton Bassett in an eight-goal thriller.

The Magpies scored through new signing Adam Philp, captain Alex Kibble and Chris Earle in a 5-3 defeat at Oldends Lane.

Orsborn said: "Great attitude from my Stonehouse boys today, but three soft goals saw my team go down 5-3, but the fight and fitness levels against a premier league side were great and we can take lots of positive points from the game and we continue to learn at this level and improve."
