Ben Gill enjoyed mixed emotions after scoring and then getting sent off as Cheltenham got off the mark for the season with a fine win over Swindon.

The 20-year-old slid in Barry Hayles's neat lay-off for the opener, but earned a yellow card for over celebrating.

He received another when he fouled Kasali Casel to earn an early bath, but Jennison Myrie-Williams headed in Alex Russell's cross to wrap up the victory.

Swindon were frustrated by keeper Shane Higgs, who pulled off two fine stops.
