SWINDON Town Ladies lost their second game of the season when they were beaten 5-3 by Keynsham Town in a thrilling South West Combination League game.

The home side kicked off but Town had the better of the early play and took a deserved lead in the 11th minute, Catherine Reid converting Tara Lofts' free-kick.

Town's lead was short-lived as the home side drew level straight from the restart.

In the 33rd minute Town regained the lead when Michelle Rich's corner swung into the goalmouth and over the line, but 10 minutes later and Keynsham drew level.

Just on the stroke of half-time the Somerset side took the lead and then went further ahead early in the second half.

In the 68th minute Jodie Steenaart's long kick was helped on by Claire Moreton to put Michelle Rich free to score with a low shot.

Keynsham, though, got their fifth in the 76th minute to restore their two-goal cushion and that's how the game stayed.

Wyvern Staff Agency player of the match: Jodi Steenaart.
