By then Slimebridge had already shown their intent. They came into the fixture with decent momentum, having beaten Swindon Supermarine 1-0 on their most recent outing. Baffins Milton Rovers, meanwhile, had struggled in their last outing, going down 5-0 to Shaftesbury Town.
And here's the thing about matches like this — the scoreline tells you everything you need to know. Slimebridge made the difference by being sharper in the final third. They didn't need to do anything complicated to put the game beyond doubt.
To be fair, Baffins Milton Rovers had shown flashes of promise in previous seasons. Their 5-0 win over Petersfield Town back in August 2024 demonstrated they could be dangerous. But against a side with more quality, those moments weren't enough.
The result means Slimebridge move closer to the next round. For Baffins Milton Rovers, it's another disappointment to add to the recent run of heavy defeats. They'll need to regroup before the next opportunity comes along.
