Under 12s Red Division

FOR the passer-by it would have been hard to distinguish which team was aiming for promotion, Chippenham Town Youth, and which team was struggling at the bottom of the division such was the fine performance by Melksham Town Youth Yellow who significantly raised their game.

Both teams had difficulty playing good football due to the high winds but Chippenham managed to take an early lead through Robert Gough before Melksham equalised after Callum scored from distance.

Chippenham, though mostly on top, could not reproduce their season-long fine form and struggled to find any consistency but did go back into the lead after Nathan Caddell scored but again the resolute Melksham equalised thanks to a fine strike.

The second half saw much of the same as Melksham stifled the Chippenham players and threatened to cause an upset on the day and if it had happened it would have been fully deserved.

Goals from Louis Bishop and Rhys Cle were cancelled out by equalisers from Kieran Stockton (2) who was especially pleased as it was his birthday.

The game ended with Chippenham searching in vain for a winner but Melksham, who created a couple of break-away opportunities, held out to secure their first point of the season in a very brave and determined performance.
