Next Year’s Hellenic League Divisions If the renowned prophet Wazzafan from the Tony Kempster Forum is correct with his predictions for next season it is looking good for the Uhlsport Hellenic League next season. The Premier Division will be back up to 20 teams, as will Division One West and Division One East would have 18 teams. He is predicting an influx of teams from the Hereford area, including a welcome return to former opponents Pegasus Juniors, which was talked about happening at the end of last season. In addition, he is assuming there will be new Development sides in the West Division from Highworth Town and Wantage (assuming their First Team are promoted) which in my view is sensible given the facilities that these clubs have, and the two-step gap would apply. Whilst he is not always correct he does seem to have his finger on the pulse and have contacts around the country who feed him information so it will be interesting to see how accurate he is with his predictions. He is also predicting that Holmer Green will move back to the Spartan South Midland League, something that I know will please them as this would reduce their travelling. So, their forthcoming visit to the Gerard Buxton Ground could be the one and only time they visit us. Whilst Wazzafan is not always correct with his predictions he does seem to have his finger on the pulse and have contacts around the country who feed him information so it will be interesting to see how accurate he is with his predictions. Generally, though his suggestions are often better than what we end up with, so lets see how things develop in the summer.

Location, Location, Location Today’s opponents are scheduled to play local neighbours Windsor in the final of the Bluefin Insurance Cup on the 6th of May, Bank Holiday Monday. The League had made the decision to hold the final at Ardley for perfectly valid reasons before the finalists were known but with the two sides, who are just six miles apart now known, you have to question whether the League are missing a trick by not now rescheduling this to, say, Binfield or Burnham. After the fixtures this season have caused so much angst with clubs, including ourselves, the League would generate a lot of goodwill with two of its member clubs, if not the majority of its clubs seeing such a move, if it were now to reverse its final location decision and move it to a ground closer to the two finalists. There should be no loss of face from making such a move but at the time of writing these notes they do appear to be sticking by Ardley as the venue for the final. Earlier in the week Windsor announced they would be providing free transport to their fans with a supporter’s coach which is a nice gesture.

Under 16 and 18 Blues set for County Cup finals this weekend Royal Wootton Bassett Town's Under 18 and 16 Blue teams aim to replicate the success of the Ladies side this Sunday as they vie for County Cup titles of their own. The Under 16 Blues aim to repeat their County Cup success from last season when they take on Chippenham Town Youth (10.30am kick off), while the elder of the two sides take on Chippenham Town for the Wiltshire Youth Cup crown (2pm kick off). Both games take place at Westbury United's Meadow Lane ground.

Next Up Our next home game is next Saturday when Holmer Green make their first ever visit to our ground, and possibly their last, if they are scheduled to return to the Spartan South Midland League. The first meeting between the two clubs was a close affair and just as it looked like we would be returning with all three points we conceded an injury time equaliser to share the points (as noted above the story of our season in 2018-19). Hopefully we can beat them this time, especially as they have now gone above us in the table. The final First Team home game of the season, also our last game of the season, is then the following week. The Dev Team will have two league games to play at home against Marlborough Town on Saturday 13th April and home to Kintbury Rangers on Saturday 27th April.

The First Team will now with back-to-back games against Longlevens in the space of 4 days. With the prolific Brad Martin having re-signed for Longlevens it means he will have played against us twice at the start of the season when playing for Bishops Cleeve and now twice at the end of the season for Longlevens. Hopefully, we can prevent him adding to the two goals he scored in the first meeting with Bishops Cleeve back in August. With Longlevens seeking to avoid relegation these are two big games. Enjoy the game and see you in the bar afterwards.  56 5

Brackley Town Saints 4 -1Tuffley Rovers 2008-09 - Easington Sports 2 -0Newent Town 2009-10 - In an interview with BBC Sport, Harvey explains his vision of allowing people to live out their dream Fairford Town 3 - 0 Penn & Tylers Green of owning a football club and taking the game back to the people. Faringdon Town 1 -3Milton United 2010-11 Kidlington “It replaces the boardroom nonsense we see at many clubs with the people that matter,” he says.

The eagle-eyed Kidlington Dev 1 -2Burnham 2013-14 Brimscombe & Thrupp will point out that an online community taking on a team is essentially an updated version of Lydney Town 2 -0Long Crendon 2014-15 Hook Norton MyFootballClub, who took over Ebbsfleet United in 2008.

But, with no vote on the actual picking of Liam Thornbury Town 4 -1Reading City Daish’s team – the big selling point – and perhaps the lack of a star name club, renewals dwindled. Wallingford Town 5 -0Shrivenham 2017-18 Holyport Eventually the Kent club were running on empty, bargaining with clubs who had sell-on fees with Woodley United 2 -1Chalvey Sports players, like Stevenage with Michael Bostwick, to bring in quick revenue before they eventually Third Round dropped out of Non-League’s top flight in 2013 on the brink of non-existence before being taken Brackley Town Saints 2 -4Flackwell Heath over again.

Thornbury Town 5 -2Fairford Town (aet) Semi Finals While those who follow football from the top, where anything outside of the Manchester Uniteds, Burnham or Easington Sports - Thornbury Town Liverpools, Real Madrids and Barcelonas barely exists, Non-League football maybe does seem a Stokenchurch - Wallingford Town bit inconsequential and somehow less important. But it matters. These clubs are part of people’s Final lives. Football at this level isn’t a joke. They may be fewer in numbers, but to supporters those - three points on a Saturday mean just as much in the Evo-Stik Premier as they do in the Premier League. For players, what happens on and off the pitch can impact the rest of their career. It’s a responsibility that will hopefully be impressed on any owners should it go through.

Running a football club through a mobile phone isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. There are rules and regulations to be adhered to and if it goes the same way as MyFC, what’s to hold the interest long-term. Any takeover will have to be passed off by the authorities and you’d hope robust questions are asked and business plans are poured over.

A football club as a plaything will make many people uncomfortable. Maybe it will work and others will follow. As the headline on OWNAFC’s website asks, ‘Do you have what it takes to run a real football club?’ Time will certainly tell.

RWBTFC editors view on this – Stuart Harvey and his fellow OWNAFC subscribers should stick to their Play Stations and the mass debating forums that exist on the internet where they can do no harm. 8 53

Our History (!"'

Moments of quality at opposite ends earn a share of the spoils Situated six miles from Swindon, Royal Wootton Bassett Town Football Club was first , 2nd March 2019 established in 1882, making the club one of the oldest in Wiltshire. The club’s early Nick Stanley's first half volley and an outstanding safe from Gary Aulsberry with twenty minutes remaining achievements came in the Wiltshire Senior Cup, making the final in both 1902-3 and helped Royal Wootton Bassett Town earn a hard-earned point away against fifth place Ascot United. 1903-4, although losing both. The club folded for a period pre-World War 1 before re-forming in the Calne & District League when it began playing at the Gerard Buxton Ascot United 1 Royal Wootton Bassett Town 1 Sports Ground which had been donated by a local dignitary for sporting activities within Royal Wootton Bassett Town picked up a valuable point on their travels, holding fifth place Ascot United the town and opened in 1930. to a 1-1 draw. Moments of excellence at both ends of the pitch contributed to that result, with Nick Stanley scoring with a fine volley to give Bassett the lead before 'keeper Gary Aulsberry pulled off a stunning save with twenty minutes remaining to preserve parity. Early successes included winning the Calne & District League in the 1930-31 Season, having finished runners-up the previous season, and then again in 1934-35. Following a move up to the Wiltshire League Chances were at something of a premium in the opening period. Still, when the visitors went ahead their Division 2 promotion was earned again the following season and the team then remained in the top division goal arrived somewhat against the run of play. It was brilliantly taken though, the in-form Nick Stanley in the county until the outbreak of war. striking a sweet volley past the 'keeper from the edge of the box after the hosts failed to clear an attack. Bassett held the lead going into the break but were pegged back on the hour mark.

The opportunity fell to the former, but he fired over. Season 2018-19 sees Sam Collier in charge of the First Team. Home View Ascot United threw the kitchen sink at Royal Wootton Bassett on Saturday but it wasn’t enough to win their final home league game of the season. Bassett had taken a one-nil lead into the interval, but substitute Luqman Kassim changed the game after his introduction to bag the all-important equaliser.

The hosts were presented with their team of the month award for December at half-time, and in true team- of-the-month style, had not won a league match since beating Longlevens just before the new year. Indeed, the omens looked ominous again at half time as the visitors had weathered the home side’s pressure, scored, and looked increasingly threatening.

Before that, Garry Aulsberry had palmed Callum Carlisle’s looping header away at full stretch to keep Ascot out, before scrambling across his line to smother Dan price’s deflected effort on the half hour after Usman Lalustani had cut back onto his right and crossed. However, from Aulsberry’s long clearance, Nick Stanley capitalised on a weak defensive header to plant a left-footed volley past debutant ‘keeper Joe Whiter and into the bottom right. Brad Pagliaroli then wriggled clear to cross for Elias Youcliff, who headed straight at Whiter, before the same Bassett players reversed roles when Pagliaroli’s shot was smothered by Whiter after Youcliffe had turned provider. In the second half, The Yellamen mounted wave after wave of attack. Sheridan Campbell shot over after 58 minutes, but moments later he was on hand to flick on Geoff Kibaki’s cross, and Kassim nipped in to stab the ball over Aulsberry and in off the underside of the bar. Bassett would fire a couple of warning shots of their own – Stanley lobbing onto the roof of the net and Pagliaroli thumping the left-hand post, but from then on it was all Ascot.

Lamin Sankoh’s long-range strike was brilliantly tipped wide by Aulsberry after 72 minutes, man-of-the match Carlisle went close with two headers and Price came within inches of scoring, but the visitors continued to thwart the hosts. Jonny Denton then wasted a chance with a late free-kick over the crossbar, before Kassim surged forwards and forced Aulsberry into yet another save – this time with his feet in added time.

There was still time for Aulsberry to deny Kassim once again, before Bassett almost landed the ultimate sucker punch in the fourth minute of stoppage time only for Dan Lachacz to fire over after substitute Ben 16 Paul had threaded him in. 45

Burnham 4 2 0 2 9 6 6 1.50 Hook Norton 12 5 3 4 16 14 18 1.50 From another Wroughton attack, Football ID keeper Drewett pulled off another good save but failed to hold onto the ball and was Swindon Supermarine 6 3 0 3 6 5 9 1.50 disposed by Tom Dingle who put the ball across, a clever dummy from Jamie McLaughlin allowed the ball to make its way to Rayners Lane 4 2 0 2 5 5 6 1.50 Cirencester Town Dev 2 1 0 1 2 1 3 1.50 Wroughton’s star man on the day Aaron Maximen who controlled the ball with a deft touch before coolly placing the ball into the Forest Green Rov Res 2 1 0 1 5 5 3 1.50 corner of the net to make it 2-0 to Wroughton. Wroughton were now in the ascendancy and went close to extending their lead further Virginia Water 2 1 0 1 2 3 3 1.50 when a cross from Reigan Cook nearly found Tom Dingle. Football ID keeper Drewett was again called into action ten minutes from Purton 38 15 10 13 54 48 55 1.45 Oxford Cit time when Maximen fired in a powerful shot from 25 yards out which was well saved at full stretch by the keeper diving to his left. y Nomads 16 7 2 7 30 33 23 1.44 From the resulting corner Wroughton again nearly found the net but the ball was this time cleared off the line by a defender. Tom Malmesbury Victoria 12 4 5 3 18 14 17 1.42 Dingle who, like Maximen had been lively all afternoon, once again went close for Wroughton but his effort was deflected wide for Henley Town 10 4 2 4 13 9 14 1.40 a corner. Whilst it was Wroughton creating the better chances Football ID always looked dangerous on the break and Ashley Alchin Ascot United 13 5 3 5 17 19 18 1.38 Lambourn Sports 16 6 4 6 25 24 22 1.38 had a shot which went just wide but Wroughton keeper Wilkinson would have had it covered had it been on target. Wroughton Cricklade Town 14 5 3 6 21 20 18 1.29 immediately went down the other end of the pitch and Dingle set up Tyler Wilkinson, but he fired straight at keeper Drewett. Carterton Town 24 8 6 10 35 37 30 1.25 Trowbridge Town 12 4 3 5 33 22 15 1.25 Wroughton were not to be denied though as the best goal of the game was reserved for the last one of the day. Wroughton’ man Viking Sports 4 1 2 1 5 3 5 1.25 of the match Maximen went on a mazy solo run from 35 yards out which saw him beat five Football ID defenders and the keeper Chipping Norton Town 14 4 5 5 20 22 17 1.21 Bishops Cleeve 26 8 7 11 43 56 31 1.19 before deftly putting the ball into the net to make it 3-0 to the league leaders and seal the points. In the closing stages Football ID Pe keeper Drewett was forced into another great save tipping over a powerful strike and in the end it was a comfortable win for the gasus Juniors 22 7 5 10 32 42 26 1.18 leaders although Football ID had made them work really hard for ninety minutes for those three points. Tuffley Rovers 22 6 8 8 37 40 26 1.18 Reading City/Highmoor Ib 12 4 2 6 20 29 14 1.17 Longlevens # 6312128 71.17 Fourth placed Shrewton United visited Marlborough Town looking to close the gap on the top three. When the sides met back in Readin g Town 6213131371.17 November a Tyren Harrington hat-trick helped Shrewton to a 5-1 win but Marlborough had improved of late with just two defeats in Lydney Town 18 6 3 9 29 29 21 1.17 their previous six games. Once again the wind and a heavy pitch made it difficult for both sides. The first half saw Shrewton playing Thatcham Town 8305 81891.13 Abingdon United 20 5 7 8 26 39 22 1.10 with the wind behind their backs and went close to breaking the deadlock when a Craig Appleby overhead kick from a corner went Shortwood United 12 4 1 7 17 24 13 1.08 narrowly wide. They did manage to edge in front when Ronan Clancy broke into the area and neatly slotted home into the Old Woodstock Town 14 4 3 7 23 23 15 1.07 Kidlington 32 9 7 16 45 64 34 1.06 Marlborough net for his second of the season. Not long after it became three for the season when he scored his second of the Highworth Town 34 11 2 21 42 70 35 1.03 game, this time getting onto a loose ball and smashing it into the roof of the net to make it 2-0 at the break. With the wind behind Milton United 20 5 5 10 26 48 20 1.00 Didcot Town 14 4 2 8 17 30 14 1.00 them Marlborough quickly got themselves back into the game when Josh Connolly scored from a set piece to make it 2-1. Despite Cirencester Town 6 1 3 2 7 8 6 1.00 having the wind behind them Marlborough failed to capitalise on the conditions and it was Shrewton who went closest to score Cheltenham Town Res 4 1 1 2 6 8 4 1.00 Fairford Town 18 4 6 8 18 36 18 1.00 again when Charlie Jackson broke through the middle but saw his shot deflected wide for a corner. Shrewton then thought they Holmer Green 1 0 1 0 2 2 1 1.00 had scored a third when Craig Appleby slotted the ball into the net after a shot from William Harries had fallen to him, but the goal Wallingford Town 12 3 2 7 17 28 11 0.92 was disallowed for offside and the game finished 201 to the visitors to keep them in touch with the top three. Yate Town 6123 61250.83 Ardley United 28 5 7 16 30 58 22 0.79 Pewsey Vale 14 2 5 7 16 22 11 0.79 After a couple of wins Royal Wootton Bassett Town Development had lost at home to Shrewton last week and were looking to Witney United 4 1 0 3 5 8 3 0.75 return to winning ways at home to Melksham Town Reserves today. Melksham went into the game on the back of three wins in Hungerford Town 4103 51330.75 Flackwell Heath 14 2 4 8 13 39 10 0.71 their last four and having won 2-1 in the first meeting of the two sides back in January. The wind once again played havoc at the Binfield 14 3 1 10 19 38 10 0.71 very open Gerard Buxton Ground but despite playing against the wind it was Melksham who led 1-0 at the break. Three unanswered Thame United 10 1 4 5 10 18 7 0.70 North Lei second half goals secured a comfortable 4-0 win for the visitors who completed the double over their opponents in the process. On target for Melksham were Kieron Pearce, Adam Mitchell, Kurt Hammonds and a spectacular strike from the half-way line from Owen gh 16 2 4 10 10 37 10 0.63 Bartley with a little help from that wind. Hallen 8053 91850.63 Wantage Town 22 4 0 18 21 54 12 0.55 Purton have put a little run together that had seen them go six games unbeaten. Today they hosted bottom of the table Pewsey Brackley Town 8116 82140.50 Cirencester Academy 6105 61430.50 Vale Development, a side who have saved their best form for the cup. When the sides met at Pewsey back in October it finished 2- Almondsbury Picksons 2 0 1 1 2 3 1 0.50 0 to Purton and Purton completed the double over their opponents with a 6-0 win.

9 March 2019 20-Apr 06-Apr Tuffley The top match of the day was in the Fountain Trophies Cup where cup holders Melksham Town took on reigning Rovers league champions Kintbury Rangers for a place in the semi-finals. On a windy day that made football difficult, Kintbury Rangers adapted better to the conditions and it is they who progress through to the last four where they are joined by 4 - 22 - 1 1 - 1 3 - 3 3 - 1 1 - 3- 2 0 - 0 1 0 - 2 0 - 2 1 - 3- 3 0 Pewsey Vale Development, Shrewton and either Wroughton or Purton who meet in the final quarter final tie to be 06-Apr played. The league’s leading scorer Shaun Thorp set them on their way midway through the first half when he curled shot in with his left foot from 25 yards for what turned out to be the only goal of the first half. Within ten minutes of the 1 - 2 1 - 3 1 - 2 1 - 2 Score for RWBTFC Score for

restart Melksham were back on level terms, Billy Gleed with his fourth of the season. Kintbury went back in front when 06-Apr 22-Apr 20-Apr 25-Mar Tom Mahoney fired in a great shot which hit the post but flew into the top of the net off the post for another good goal. Bassett Shriven'm Mahoney was then involved in the move that finally sealed matters for Kintbury when he broke down the right, cut Royal W. inside a Melksham defender and fired in a shot which was deflected, the ball falling to Fabio Pinto who fired in the rebound to ensure that it is Kintbury who progress to the next round, 3-1 the final score to Kintbury. 5 - 1 City

The top league match of the day saw leaders Wroughton travel to take on Cricklade Town at Cricklade Leisure Centre. Reading When the two sides met at the Weir Field back in October Wroughton had narrowly edged it in a very tight affair on a 2 - 1 4 - 3 6 - 1- 1 1 1 - 1 3 - 0 2 - 0 0 - 1 2 - 14 - 1 1 - 0 1 - 1 1 - 3 5 - 2 1 - 1 4 - 1 4 - 12 - 0 3 - 3 1 - 2 2 - 2 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 2 0 - 3 - 2 1 1 - 2 2 - 0 3 - 1 freezing cold day, eventually winning 2-1. Another close game was expected in the return fixture and so it proved. In 23-Mar 02-Apr Town

this game not only did the players have to contend with the wind but also a heavy pitch which made it tricky for the Lydney players. It was Aaron Maximen who struck first for the leaders Wroughton with a cool finish from a Regan Cook free TBA 4 - 1 4 - 2 3 - 2- 1 1 2 - 1 0 - 43 - 2 3 - 1 4 - 3 0 - 1 6 - 1 2 - 1 1 - 2 2 - 1

kick to make it 1-0 to Wroughton. Jonathan Peachey-Score then put Cricklade back on level terms before Wroughton 13-Apr 22-Apr 30-Mar 26-Mar 06-Apr 23-Mar went back in front with another set piece goal. This time the scorer was veteran Craig Bowden who fired powerfully

into the net from a free kick. Tom Dingle then gave Wroughton a two-goal cushion when he netted Wroughton’s third Most Frequent Winning

for his ninth goal of the season and that turned out to be the final goal action as Wroughton ran out 3-1 winners to TBA 3 - 3 open up a three-point lead over Kintbury at the top of the table. 13-Apr Green Longl'vns Pewsey Vale were looking to take their cup form which had seen them make it through to the semi-finals into the Holmer league matches when they hosted Corsham Town Reserves this afternoon. When the sides met at Corsham at the 3 - 3 2 - 1 3 - 3 1 - 2 4 - 12 - 0 1 - 3 0 - 4 1 - 3 06-Apr start of the season it had finished 2-0 to Corsham and with Corsham riding high in 5th spot in the table and in good 30-Mar 06-Apr form it was a tough ask for Pewsey, but they again rose to the occasion this time holding an in-form Corsham side to Heath

a goalless draw. Despite the excellent result Pewsey remain at the bottom of the table but moved to within a point of Flackwell TBA Devizes Town Reserves in the battle to avoid relegation. 1 - 2 1 - 00 - 0 3 - 0 0 - 1- 1 1 3 - 2 2 - 5 3 - 2 W 2 - 1 W 1 - 0 W 3 - 1 W 2 - 0 W 3 - 0 W 3 - 2 W 4 - 1 W 4 - 2 W 4 - 0 W 5 - 1 W 4 - 3 W 5 - 0 W 6 - 1 W 5 - 2 W 6 - 0 W 6 - 2 W 6 - 3 W 8 - 0 W 0

Shrewton United were looking to return to winning ways after consecutive defeats at the hands of the top two sides 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 when they took on Royal Wootton Bassett Town Development who themselves were looking to make it three wins on

the bounce. The vast expanse of the Gerard Buxton Ground has traditionally not been a happy hunting ground for 13-Apr 22-Apr 23-Mar 06-Apr 26-Mar Shrewton, and they played the first half playing against the wind. Despite the home side having the advantage provided by the wind they failed to register a shot on the Shrewton goal and it was actually the visitors who created a Thrupp Fairford

couple of chances, Ronan Clancy shooting narrowly wide and Dominic Jackson going on a long run before eventually Brimsco & 1 - 21 - 3 4 - 1 3 - 4 6 - 0 being tackled by the Bassett defence. With the wind behind them in the second half Shrewton took full advantage. 13-Apr 30-Mar Charlie Utterson went close to breaking the deadlock when he was put through one-on-one against the Bassett keeper

Adam House but his subtle dink over the keeper also went just over the bar. House then pulled off a great save to Town Brackley

prevent his side going behind after good link up play between Utterson and Dan Burton had set up Burton for the shot 3 - 4 4 - 2 4 - 5 2 - 1 1 - 3 2 - 0 1 - 2 0 - 0 0 - 0 which House saved with his foot. A couple of substitutions by were made by Shrewton and they quickly paid off for 26-Mar the visitors. Moments after coming on Ben Jenks scored his fourth of the season firing in off the post. Shrewton Cleeve

continued to press for a second and were duly rewarded when Utterson set up the other substitute Craig Appleby Bishops 0 - 0 2 - 1 1 - 31 - 0 0 - 1 0 - 2 1 - 2 1 - 2 5 - 0 2 - 21 - 1 1 - 2 1 - 3 1 - 2 2 - 0 1 - 0 0 - 3 3 - 3 2 - 3 0 - 2 3 - 0 13-Apr 22-Apr 02-Apr who beat keeper House with a powerful near post shot. In the dying moments Utterson also thought he had got on 30-Mar the score sheet as well but his which went into the net after his initial shot had been blocked didn’t count as the referee had blown for full-time leaving the final score at 2-0 to Shrewton. Shrewton stay fourth but moved to within two points of Melksham with a game in hand but are set to be the biggest losers when the table is adjusted for the withdrawal of 1 - 2 1 - 0 3 - 3 1 - 3 1 - 1 2 - 1 2 - 1 22-Apr Westbury having beaten them twice this season. 23-Mar 30-Mar

After a great start to the season Football ID have slipped down the table of late and going into their meeting with Ascot United Binfield

Purton had lost eight games in a row. They faced another tough test against a Purton side who were unbeaten in five, 2 - 3 1 - 4 2 - 2 4 - 1 1 - 3 0 - 2 3 - 5 3 - 0 0 - 1 2 - 0 4 - 1 3 - 3 1 - 5 2 - 0 2 - 1 1 - 1 2 - 1 1 - 3 four of which had been won. However, with five minutes remaining Purton looked like that unbeaten run was coming 30-Mar 23-Mar to an end as they trailed 2-0 to the young Football ID side, with Purton’s top scorer Will Backhouse having missed a penalty ten minutes from time. However, Sam English pulled one back before Chris Avery scored from a second Ardley United 0 - 2 2 - 4 4 - 0 1 - 2 1 - 3 1 - 26 - 4 2 - 3 3 - 1 2 - 0 3 - 3 0 - 0 0 - 2 0 - 30 - 4 2 - 3 0 - 1 1 - 0 3 - 0 2 - 0 0 - 3 1 - 2 2 - 2 2 - 1 0 - 2 3 - 0 0 - 4 0 - 2 0 - 1 3 - 2 3 - 1 2 - 0 2 - 0 2 - 1 2 - 1

penalty to equalise in the final minute of the match, ensuring the points were shared and that unbeaten run was now 23-Mar six.

The big battle at the bottom end of the table was at Devizes where Malmesbury Victoria Development were the visitors Utd 2 - 20 - 1 4 - 11 - 0 2 - 12 - 0 3 - 1 1 - 1 3 - 0 3 - 3 0 - 01 - 2 5 - 1- 3 6 1 - 00 - 0 1 - 0 2 - 1 0 - 12 - 0 2 - 0 1 - 4 1 - 1 0 - 2 5 - 0 3 - 1 1 - 33 - 0 1 - 0 4 - 0 0 - 2 3 - 04 - 0 3 - 3- 4 0 0 - 1 1 - 33 - 2 1 - 4 3 - 3 1 - 6 0 - 3 4 - 01 - 2 2 - 1 0 - 0 0 - 2 1 - 3 2 - 01 - 3- 3 2 0 - 5 1 - 0 4 - 15 - 0 4 - 0 1 - 3 1 - 2 1 - 2 5 - 07 - 1 1 - 1 2 - 2 1 - 0 2 - 2 0 - 2 1 - 15 - 1 0 - 0 1 - 3 1 - 3 1 - 0 2 - 3 2 - 1 2 - 1 1 - 1 3 - 1 2 - 0 1 - 1 0 - 2- 1 4 1 - 1 0 - 1 3 - 1 1 - 0- 1 1 3 - 1 0 - 2 1 - 0 1 - 3 3 - 2 1 - 1 1 - 1 4 - 2 3 - 1 1 - 3 0 - 3 0 - 1 0 - 2 2 - 23 1 - 2 - 3 0 - 0 3 - 0 1 - 0 2 - 0 1 - 0 0 - 1 1 - 1 2 - 2 2 - 1 Abingdon 02-Apr 20-Apr for the first meeting of the season between the two sides this season. Both matches last season had been tight affairs 30-Mar with Devizes winning 1-0 at home and the sides drawing 1-1 at Malmesbury but on this occasion Malmesbury recorded a comfortable win to ease the pressure on them at the bottom end of the table. Joe Tranter and Gareth Jones both bagging a brace in Malmesbury’s 4-1 win, James Dunford with the consolation goal for Devizes. The game between Trowbridge Town and Marlborough Town was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
