Marlborough broke on the counter attack and scored through Steve Way again after good work from Gosling, who rounded the keeper and Way slotted the ball into the empty net.

It then went all wrong for Marlborough who took their foot off the pedal.

Yeovil scored again with a lucky deflection to make it 2-2 to leave Marlborough were on the back foot.

They conceded a short cornerand Hill scored again with his trademark drag flick.

Marlboroughtried to play their way back into the game but the visitors held them off comfortably to return home with the points.

Midfielder Ed Gosling said after the game: “I’m gutted, we played some nice hockey, but at this level if you give away short corners against someone who converts 80 per cent of his chances, you know you are asking for trouble.

It’s a shame, we were putting a nice little run together leading up to the Christmas break.”
