Salisbury picked up three points with a home win against Slough Town at the Ray Mac this afternoon.

Josh Hedges' first-half penalty was enough to give Brian Dutton's side the win, although 10-man Slough put up a good fight in the second half.

The home side made two changes from the side that drew away at Hemel in the first game of the season, with David Aziaya, who signed in the week, replacing the suspended Ryan Gosney in goal and Josh Sommerton coming in and Jaden Perez moving to the bench.

Slough started the quicker of the two teams, winning most of the possession, but without testing Aziaya in the Salisbury goal and it was the Whites who created the first chance of note. Ronan Silva's shot was blocked on 10 minutes.

Slough had their first sight of goal on 14 minutes when Luke Wilkinson was adjudged to have fouled John Gilbert, but the following free kick was straight at Aziaya.

Salisbury came more into the game as the half progressed with McCreadie and Fasanmade both having good chances to give the home side the lead.

It took a defensive slip, though, to break the deadlock. Lexus Beeden tangled with Ronan Silva after the Salisbury player got the wrong side. Referee Adam Merchant pointed at the spot and showed Beeden a straight red card.

Josh Hedges stepped up, placed the ball on the spot and finished cooly past Charlie Horlock, who went the wrong way to give Salisbury the lead in the 35th minute.

Salisbury pushed for a second and Hedges came the closest to getting it as he saw his effort come back off the post from 20 yards just four minutes later.

Salisbury were good value for their 1-0 lead at half time.

Salisbury almost doubled their lead just four minutes into the second half when a clever through ball from Josh Hedges put Jordan Ragguette through in the left channel, but his effort went just wide.

Although Slough were down to ten men, it controlled a lot of the ball in the second half but was unable to test Aziaya in the Salisbury goal.

Salisbury did present them with one opportunity after 70 minutes when they failed to clear the ball. This led to a couple of quick successive corners, the second of which bounced off the crossbar directly from the corner.

Salisbury saw the game out and almost got a second in stoppage time when Leggett (twice) and Perez both saw their shots blocked in the 93rd minute.
