National League South side Salisbury dumped Chichester City out of the FA Trophy at the Ray Mac Stadium courtesy of goals from Nathan Odokonyero, Rashawn Scott (2) and Jaiden Bartolo.

kipper Rob Hutchings started at left back and Isaac Bello lined up on the other side, with Ben Pashley and Will Sweet in the heart of the defence. Shot-stopper Max Evans began in goal as usual with Joe Moore, Emmett Dunn, Lucas Pattenden and a fit again James Sweet in midfield behind top scorer Harry Bridle and Brandon Chebby.

Zac Jeanes, now back at Chi, joined Ethan Prichard, Lloyd Rowlatt, Olly Munt and Joe Clarke on the bench.

The Wiltshire club started the brighter and Hutchings had to clear a free kick three minutes in. Jordan Alonge then got through on goal but brilliant work from Pashley snuffed out the danger.

The hosts’ No10 ballooned one off target and Pattenden and Bridle hooked up, although it was shepherded back to keeper Will Henry.

Dunn made a header on 10 minutes from Noah Dupont’s high ball before Hutchings got to it ahead of Scott. Hutchings broke up a decent Salisbury move in the 13th minute and Ollie Morgan won the home side the first corner which he took and Dupont thumped into an opponent.

The Whites tidied up a long pass towards Pattenden on 15 and Hutchings got away with one after fouling Bartolo. Evans claimed a lovely cross 19 minutes in.

Tricky stuff from MoM Mo Dabre set Odokonyero up for the opener on 21 minutes. Morgan was replaced by Luke Russe before a clean tackle from Malachi Ogunheye put an end to Chebby’s run.

It was 2-0 in the 24th minute when Scott bagged his first. Then Chebby got muscled off the bal by Bartolo and Bello prevented Dabre getting in down the right.

Odokonyero struck the post as the hosts started to dominate and the loose ball was turned in by Scott. Soon Scott went down for some time after colliding with a teammate and had to eventually be exchanged for Jeremy Sivi.

Chi just couldn’t get back into things and injured James Sweet was subbed for Joe Clarke. Dabre had a cut-back cut out and nice play from Will Sweet broke up a move instigated by Alonge and Odokonyero.

Joshua Hedges came on for Salisbury after the break, replacing captain Joshua Sommerton. Sweet got done by Bartolo on 47 minutes but Pashley headed away, and Evans, who had a fantastic second half, pulled off a fine save in the 49th minute.

Sivi fired one high and wide on 52 and then conceded a handball; Evans saved Dabre’s shot; and Hutchings tackled Bartolo in the box.

Bartolo made it 4-0 as we neared the hour and Jeanes came on at right-back for Pattenden with Bello pushed up.

Hedges was flagged offside on 59 minutes and Odokonyero had a good chance before Evans saved low down. The Chi No1 saved again after Chichester were ripped apart in the 64th minute, and at the other end Bello got through on goal before a well-timed tackle denied him.

Odokkonyero was swapped for Robbie Gallagher in the 68th minute and Munt replaced Moore for City. Bridle’s long-ranger didn’t trouble Henry.

The visitors cleared a Bartolo delivery and Ogunleye’s shot wasn’t far off. At the other end, Jeanes won Chichester a corner that Hutchings took and Chebby blazed over.

The hosts then brought on keeper Zak Beard in place of Henry on 85 and Hedges dragged one wide.

Bello could have shot first time and Russe had an attempt blocked in the 88th minute before Jeanes put an end to a Hedges and Gallagher move.

Dabre fluffed his lines as we entered additional time with the goal gaping before Evans made another stunning stop.
