Westbury slipped to another home defeat, this time against 2nd from bottom Keynsham, and although United were under strength the visitors fully deserved their victory.
The 1st half was largely uneventful with both sides having attempts off target, Joe Murray twice for the hosts and Liam Robson for Keynsham.
The game was more lively after the break and Town had several chances before Westbury, with Nathan Hallett and Mark Young looking dangerous on either wing, put together a few fine moves with no end reward. It was Keynsham who got the bit between their teeth by forcing home keeper Alex Shaftoe to make three excellent saves in five minutes from Syzmon Gromek, Liam Gibson and Ryan Ashwood as all three got in quite easily at the end of quick breaks.
The only goal then came on 76 minutes; the pacy pairing of Robson and Ashwood combined with the latter finishing from close range. United only had a single chance to snatch a point but Wayne Wheeler was off target after taking advantage of an error by Matt Dunk.
