Hellenic Round Up: Highworth Town made a quick exit from the FA Vase beaten at home by Brislington 2-1.
The visitors took the lead on 38 minutes when Tommy Whealdon committed a foul on the edge of the box and with the Highworth defenders forming a wall, Richard Thomas took a quick free kick and put the visitors one up.
On the stroke of half time Brislington went further ahead when David Morrisey caught a home defender in possession robbed him of the ball and ran on to score the second.
Ten minutes into the second half the visitors had Jeff Hazell sent off for a second bookable offence and, down to ten men , Brislington mounted a rear-guard action with keeper Mark Brain in sparkling form.
Jon Reeves hit the bar with a long range volley and Justin Miller forced the keeper to make a great save from a close range header before Highworth eventually scored in the 85th minute.
Peter Moss was pulled down by the keeper who escaped with a yellow card and David Webb stepping up to score from the spot.
In a hectic last five minutes Highworth threw everybody forward but the visitors held out for a place in the second round.
Cirencester Academy also have no further interest in the FA Vase losing 2-0 at Carterton, Wyatt scoring just before the break with Rodney making sure a couple of minutes from time.

Purton netted a consolation goal in the 85th minute from Stuart Cole.
