Further goals were scored in the second half by Tom Doveton and a second by
Oliver Nash.
Man-of-the-match for Trowbridge was Elliot Self, who was dominant in
defence.
After a goal-less first half with few chances, Chippenham Town came out of
the blocks the quicker after the break and Harry Myles opened the scoring
with a shot from the right hand side which left the Devizes goalkeeper with
no chance as the ball looped over his head into the far corner.
Liam Sunderland scored a few minutes later with a shot that bounced back off
the post, the ball hitting the keeper and rolling over the line.
After that it was good end-to-end football but both defences proved too
strong and no more goals were scored.
Adam Gerrard had a one-on-one chance but the Devizes goalkeeper stood up
well to save the shot.
Devizes had the better of the chances but, thanks to yet another superb
display of fine saves from Town goalkeeper Mikey Wright, could not find the
back of the net.
Goals from Ryan Banks, Matthew Harris and Rory Davis gave Derry Hill United
a 3-0 home win against Melksham Town Youth Blue.

for goal of the season, and further goals came from the impressive Callum
Hussey and Rhys Cole and a brace from Harry Wells.
