After a goals drought, there were three crackers as The Martyrs deservedly took the points in the Met Coaches (Penydarren Park) heat.
With four players still injured and two looking to get international clearance, this needed win will give the side a platform to build on. They moved up to 12th place in the table, leapfrogging Supermarine.
In defence, Craig McDonnell was back in action.
Strong running and ball control saw Connor McDonagh always dangerous for the Wiltshire outfit.
When Simpson Kane,substitute, pulled a goal back, as Supermarine battled, it looked as there might yet be a draw. But Traylor completed his brace of goals to settle matters.
Beforehand, relatives of the late Lyn Jones,legendary manager, saw the grandstand named The Lyn Jones Stand.

Poole took over at the top of the league as Tiverton lost at Taunton before a bumper 1,068 gate.
