Saturday, April 1, 1995

Reading Swindon Town
S.Lovell (30', 32', 90')
HT: 2-0
Attendance:  12,565    



 
Swindon give a joke of a performance on April Fools' Day - Royals keeper Shaka Hislop responding to plenty of "Shaka, what's the score?" chants, as a Stuart Lovell hat-trick sees off a toothless Town side.
