THE Grapes United proved too strong for local Melksham rivals Forest AFC as a 9-2 win over the third division side booked them their spot in the second round of this season’s AM Print & Copy-sponsored Knockout Cup.

Steve Badger and Jamie Procter were on target for a Forest side who were well beaten by their guests, whose goals were shared by Mikki Harrison, Stuart Barber and Nathan Walker who all bagged a hat-trick each.
