WESTBURY United assistant boss Matty Bown has warned former team-mate Toby Colbourne not to expect an easy ride in next month's Wiltshire Senior Cup quarter-final.

First half goals from Paul Beavers and Wayne Wheeler on Saturday set up the trip to in-form Corsham Town, Colbourne's new club, and Bown insists a cup upset should not be ruled out.

Since switching to the Southbank from Meadow Lane in October, Colbourne has scored 15 goals in 15 games to help Corsham to sixth place in the Premier Division.

That's in stark contrast to his start to the season where he struggled to find his form in a Westbury side that were languishing near the bottom of Division One, but Bown has warned things have changed.

He said: "I think Toby will be the first to admit that it was not working for him or the team at the start of the season as we really struggled to find our form. His move has probably worked out for all concerned because he is flying at Corsham while we have finally started to pick our form up as well.

"Perhaps a change was needed. I have no grudge with Toby and wish him all the best, but there is no doubt we have improved in recent weeks.

"Corsham will be a very hard match and everyone will be expecting us to get a battering, but the match is winnable for us. We will have nothing to lose and who knows what will happen on the day."

Since Colbourne's departure, young striker Paul Beavers has started to impress at Meadow Lane and his goal on Saturday was his third in two games.

Bown said: "Paul is a good lad and has started to listen and learn. He has a lot of ability and he could be a very, very good player, but it all depends on how much he wants it."

In an even start, Beavers, Justin Tugwell and Lee Carpenter went close for the hosts while Robin Simpson and Tom Etheridge almost gave Marlborough the lead.

On 27 minutes, an unmarked Wayne Wheeler headed Carpenter's left wing cross into the net as Westbury began to take control.

Their lead was doubled on 42 minutes when Wheeler fed Beavers and the youngster finished confidently from long range.

Westbury continued their dominance after the break but failed to extend their lead despite good efforts from Beavers and Wheeler.

Manager Paul Brickley said: "It was a workmanlike performance against a side who battled hard and played some good football. Corsham will be a very difficult test and go into the game as massive favourites.

"I have already received a phone call from Toby about the tie."
