Midweek Action

Chipping Sodbury Town were the big winners in the Premier Division on Tuesday night, moving further clear of the bottom two thanks to a 3-1 victory over seventh-placed Bitton. Having suffered a number of heavy defeats in the last couple of months, the Sods secured a much-needed win at the Ridings, with Nathan Brown among the scorers for the home side. Keynsham Town took home all three points from their home clash with Street, turning the tables on an early season defeat to the same opposition. Having taken a first half lead through Troy Walters, the K’s were pegged back when Henry Lawrence-Napier equalised for the visitors. Another headed finish from Craig Wilson restored Keynsham’s advantage and they hung on to grab victory despite squandering an opportunity to extend their lead when Michael Grist had a late penalty saved by Liam Norris. On Wednesday evening, Sam Wentland scored the only goal of the game at Oaklands Park, where Roman Glass St George defeated Buckland Athletic to leapfrog their opponents up into tenth spot. The big movers were Tavistock, with the Devon side taking over top spot in the division for the first time this year following a 4-0 victory at home to Wellington. Jack Crago (pictured on the right) once again shone for the Lambs, with the front man scoring a hat trick to increase his lead atop the overall scoring charts this season. In the First Division, a Ben Tylee goal on the hour mark saw Devizes claim a 1-1 draw away at Oldland Abbotonians after Jack Dempsey had put the home side ahead on the stroke of half time.

An excellent final 20 minutes from Wells City saw them move on to the semi-finals of the Somerset Cup at the expense of Bridgwater, winning by three goals to nil at the Athletic Ground. Craig Herrod opened the scoring in the 68th minute with a volleyed finish, before Alex Camm doubled the lead five minutes later thanks to a well-worked goal at the back post. Bridgwater were then reduced to ten men a few moments later, and the home side took advantage, with Dale Hunt meeting Herrod’s corner to make it 3-0 in the closing stages. 24 hours later, Calne Town stormed through to the final of the Wiltshire Senior Cup after disposing of Wroughton by five goals to one at the home of Melksham Town. Incredibly, the game was goalless after 90 minutes before an scarcely believable extra time period saw Calne strike five times to set up a clash with Bemerton Heath Harlequins in the final. Jamal Chevolleau scored twice for Calne during a wild 30-minute spell, which also Stuart Windsor, Josh McGrory and Declan McStravick find the back of the net for the Western League side.
