Any hopes of a late revival were ended by Matt Minnis whose second of the morning sealed victory for Faded.

Calne United and Warminster Wanderers fought out a trilling 3-3 draw as the latter came from 2-0 and 3-2 down to claim a share of the points.

Jordan Stewart regained the lead for Calne only for Sam Griffiths to earned Warminster their points with a deserved equaliser.

A 2-2 draw for North Star Club at The Foresters Arms saw Liam Westland’s side drop their first points in five outings.
