Action from Sunday's under 14s Blue Division game between Westbury Youth A and Trowbridge Town Youth A (34162/4)

In blustery conditions, Westbury Youth A snatched an early lead direct from a corner in their under 14s Blue Division game before Trowbridge Town Youth A equalised straight afterwards through Alex de Silva from close range.

Westbury took the lead again from a corner after 15 minutes, but de Silva equalised for the second time. Another Westbury corner again had Trowbridge in trouble and they gave away a third goal from close in.

Town then stepped up their game, with De Silva completing his hat-trick and Josh Moss adding to the tally to send the visitors in 4-3 up at the interval.

With the wind behind them Trowbridge rarely looked troubled in the second half, with Kieran McCaldon and Damon Kay controlling the midfield, and Town plundering three more goals, from Aaron Patrick, Jack Miluk and De Silva to finish the game 7-3 winners.

The game was played in the right spirit, with some good football displayed from both sides.

Westbury's goals came from Lewis Gardiner, Adam Bishop and Joe Kersey.

In a wind effected game of two halves, Warminster Highbury took a 2-0 first half lead against visitors Melksham Town Youth Blue.

After the break the Blues brought the scores level for a 2-2 final score.

Shaun Tarr and Josh Castle scored for Highbury.

The game of the weekend was between leaders Amesbury Juniors and struggling Bradford Town Youth Whites.

The Whites started off underdogs, having only seven players available, but managed to take the lead through Will Beckett.

Bradford held out but Amesbury brought the scores level before the interval.

After the break Sam Webb regained the lead for Bradford before scoring his second to take Bradford's lead to 3-1.

Bradford looked to be heading for a win but conceded two goals from the penalty mark for the game to finish level at 3-3.

Bradford goalkeeper Will Carson had an exceptional game.

CORSHAM FC continued their winning ways by recording their eighth victory with a 5-1 home win against second placed Trowbridge Wanderers.

Under 14s Red Division

CASTLE Combe had the wind at their backs in the first half and took the lead when their leading striker scoring after 17 minutes to take his goal tally this season to 31.

Combe continued to press but couldn't take advantage of a through ball after finding the Warminster goalkeeper in fine form.

The second half started brightly for Combe, who were awarded a penalty in the first minute which striker Luke Simpkins calmly slotted into the bottom right hand corner.

Warminster upped their game and pressed Combe and got their just desserts after eight minutes in the second half by netting from close range to bring the scores back to 2-1 to Combe.

It was end-to-end stuff and Warminster were awarded with a penalty seven minutes from time after a Combe defender pushed their opponent in the box.

Warminster took the penalty quickly and scored, only for the goal to be ruled out as the referee was still talking with a Combe player and had not blown for the penalty to be taken.

At the re-take, the Warminster player struck the ball well but missed the target, leaving the score at 2-1.

Combe then pressed Warminster and in the final minute Combe midfielder Sam Wozniak picked up the ball in his own half and ran the ball past the Warminster defence and slotted it past the goalkeeper for Combe's third.

This was a tense game but both teams were a credit to their clubs and the league.

Phil Curtis scored for Warminster.
