• Edward Snyder (7.8) - Scored once and assisted twice, contributing directly to three of Royall’s eight goals.
• Graeme Barnes (7.6) - Scored twice, with his second goal arriving shortly after the interval.

• Thomas Williams (7.3) - Scored early and assisted Barnes after half-time.

Royall’s first two goals arrived by the 16th minute, giving the visitors a two-goal lead before the interval. Barnes added a third in the 43rd, and the second half quickly removed any lingering uncertainty: Doukoure scored four minutes after the restart, Barnes followed, and Doukoure made it six in the 58th. Radošević and Kelly then completed the scoring. The goal sequence was spread across several players, with Snyder and Kelly each providing two assists, rather than resting on one scorer’s evening.

For Rowicham Athletic, the possession and passing figures offered a small measure of composure in a match that otherwise ran away from them. Four yellow cards, against one for Royall, mark a more difficult side of the afternoon, while the two shots underline how little the hosts could make of their time on the ball. Royall, meanwhile, were highly direct in the outcome without needing to dominate possession: eight goals, 13 shots on target and a final margin that left the xG estimate looking almost restrained.
