Salisbury 2-1 Ebbsfleet United

Salisbury got their home campaign in the Blue Square Premier off to roaring start thanks to a deserved a win against Ebbsfleet.

Things looked bleak for the home side when they conceded a penalty after a mere two minutes, Aaron Cook having brought down Luke Moore.

Mark DeBolla converted calmly from the spot.

The home side pulled a goal back in the 40th minute as Robbie Matthews got on the end of a Jonathan Bass cross and headed past United keeper Scott Tynan.

Salisbury took the lead five minutes into the second half when Matt Tubbs beat Tynan after pouncing on a loose ball just outside the penalty area, the goal proving enough to seal victory.
