Westbury Youth B and FC Chippenham played out an entertaining game at Redland Lane, which despite the comprehensive score line was a fairly evenly matched fixture.

Westbury made the stronger start, with their midfield linking up well, but were unable to make the most of a number of great chances in the opening ten minutes.

The opening goal came against the run of play from FC Chippenham's Micah Tate.

This helped settle Chippenham who quickly doubled their lead after 15 minutes through Tom Cook.

Both teams continued to make chances, with Chippenham scoring further goals from Dan Brown and Max Wyatt to lead 4-0 after 20 minutes.

Just before half-time Westbury finally got on the score sheet with a fine strike from Paul Eddington.

The second half saw both teams continue to create chances, leading to further goals for Chippenham from George Davis (2) and a second for Brown.

Jordan Bishop replied for Westbury for a final score of 7-2 to Chippenham.

Playing with the slope and the wind at the backs, visitors Marshfield made the stronger start against Melksham Town Youth Reds and struck the woodwork three times before Jeremy Bond opened the scoring.

Marshfield added two more goals in quick succession, from Josh Gammie and Alex Tierney.

Goals for Melksham either side of half-time brought the scores level but Marshfield finished strongly and added further goals from Sam Boorman, Josh Gammie (with a fierce shot) and Jeremy Bond, surprisingly with his left foot.

The match was sportingly played by both teams.
