Mere Town Youth 2, Great Western 2

GREAT Western, who started the day as leaders, had three men sent off as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Mere Town Youth.

On the stroke of half-time Great Western were reduced to ten men when Shane Godsell was sent off for foul language.

Twenty minutes into the second period Mere took the lead through Adam Scource, but Great Western then turned up the pressure and found the equaliser on 76 minutes as Patrick Ilott scored with a long range shot.

Great Western finished with eight men and a share of the points.

Seend United Reserves 5, Calne Eagles 3

SEEND United Reserves beat Calne Eagles 5-3 in a game that contained some very good finishing from both sides.

The Eagles started brightly and took the lead after only 10 minutes when player-manager Roy Wenham headed home a Danny Thompson free kick. They extended their lead when Jamie Davies finished powerfully from a tight angle.

Seend came back strongly and after 25 minutes Dan Humphries hammered home a shot at the far post following a corner that was not fully cleared.

Moments later they were level when Danny Thompson was caught in possession on the edge of the box and the ball broke kindly to Humphries, who confidently struck his shot past goalkeeper Andy Windsor.

Then with half-time fast approaching, Seend took the lead through Dan Humphries, who got the better of two Calne defenders following a long pass upfield to complete his hat-trick.

Calne regained their composure at the start of the second half as they searched for a way back into the game, but two superb individual goals, the first by Dave Castle and the second from Dan Humphries, again put the game seemingly beyond Calne's reach.

With 10 minutes remaining a superb long distance shot from veteran striker Nick Cawley gave the Eagles some hope. Only moments later both Adam Bewley and Steve Roberts had good chances to score for Calne, which might have had set up an interesting last few minutes, but Seend United hung on to claim a deserved three points.
