AN opening salvo of two goals in 12 minutes from Harry Morgan set Wimborne Town on their way to an impressive 4-2 victory at Thame United in the FA Trophy, writes Graham Dunn.

Despite a wobble at the start of the second period, further goals by Curtis Young and Addwell Chipangura steadied the ship as Wimborne progressed to the first round proper of the competition for only the second time in their history.

There were again more impressive saves from on-loan Cherries keeper Billy Terrell in the Wimborne goal, as he continues to gain experience in senior football.

Playing without a recognised striker, Wimborne made the perfect start.

Jamie Henry picked out Young on the right wing, he raced into the area, hit a low shot from an acute angle which keeper Craig Hill did well to parry.

That was before Morgan swept the rebound into the net with just 60 seconds on the clock.

Crisp passing on the left then found Charlie Gunson near the left by-line, and his pull-back was hit into the net from close-range by Morgan.

Thame needed to start the second period well - and they did, by scoring in the 47th minute.

They moved the ball from right to left before Ryan Blake swept the ball beyond Terrell from the edge of the area.

The Red Kites sensed an equaliser but a resolute backline and whole team defending denied them any clear opportunities.

In fact, it was the visitors who fashioned the best chances and Young added a third for Wimborne on 58 minutes.

At the other end, on 73 minutes, Terrell and skipper Scott Arnold then combined to deny Thame in a scramble by the post.

But Wimborne sealed victory on 87 minutes. Dan Strugnell’s clearance somehow eluded the home side's central defenders before Chipangura walked the ball into the empty net.

Terrell then drew gasps from the crowd when he saved a downward header on the line but was beaten for a second time in time added-on by a header.
