NEAR-NEIGHBOURS Westbury United Reserves and Warminster Town Reserves locked horns at Meadow Lane with the visitors overturning a 3-2 half time deficit to run out 6-3 winners.

Goals from Carl Clarke and Brandan Hind gave Warminster a 2-0 lead, before Westbury turned things around, Adam Kenich reducing the arrears and Nathan Hallett-Young got them on level terms and a second from Kenich sent them in at half-time 3-2 in front.

Warminster regained the upper hand in the second period with the star of the show being youngster Liam Gibbens who made the step up from the Warminster A side look easy as his hat-trick on his debut for the Reserves, along with a second from Hind, made up the winners' half-dozen.

Luxol St Andrews bounced back from Thursday evening’s surprise draw with Hilperton United by beating Westbury Town 3-1.

Tom Rooney saw his first-half opener for Luxol cancelled out by Tom Blackman who squared things up prior to the break.

Second-half goals from Josh Hard on 51 minutes and Ben Ryder, who netted in the 70th minute, earned Luxol maximum points.

Champions Melksham Town A tasted defeat in the league for the first time this season.

A 2-0 loss at home to Freshford United brought their excellent 18-match unbeaten run to an end and also reignited the visitors' hopes of beating Luxol St Andrews to the runners up spot.

With neither team being able to force a breakthrough in the first half it was Freshford who got their noses in front when Nathan Gant set up Dave Percival for the opener and Melksham’s fate was sealed by Dean Ranger who found the net following an assist from Nick Ross.

The first of back-to-back meetings for Stockton & Codford and Heytesbury went the way of the former who, after a goalless first half, scored twice in the final seven minutes to claim a 2-0 success.

Heytesbury keeper Sam Spratt had an excellent first half as he denied Ashley Caws on three minutes then produced an even better stop to thwart the same player on 20 minutes, then somehow tipped a Caws effort over the bar to keep it 0-0 at the break.

Jamie Howse had the chance to put Heytesbury in front in the 67th minute but blasted a penalty over the bar and his miss was to prove costly as Jason Povey broke the deadlock on 83 minutes when he fired home from 18 yards.

The points were wrapped up by Caws who bundled the ball home in the 88th minute to make it 2-0.
