Action from the semi-final between AFC Corsham Leopards and Trowbrige Town Youth (21552/1)

Trowbridge Wanderers and Melksham Park A got off to a very even start in their semi-final, with both sides wary of one another as the previous meetings between had been very close.

Midway through the first half Tommy Ireland tried to head a stinging shot away but unfortunately diverted it past his own goalkeeper.

This fired up Melksham Park and a very good run up the wing ended with Thomas Mack laying on a superb cross which was dispatched into the Trowbridge goal by a grateful Nathan Trueman.

The second half was very close, with good play from both sides until Matthew Harrod was unfortunately injured.

From the resultant dropped ball Sam Robinson scored an excellent goal to make it 2-1 to Melksham Park.

AFC Corsham Leopards showed promise early in the first half of their semi-final against Trowbridge Town Youth as Daniel Lewis slid in to almost push the ball over the line, but quick reactions from the Trowbridge goalkeeper denied the Leopards the early boost.

The early hope soon disappeared as the First Division team outplayed the Leopards to end the first half with a four goal lead.

In the second half the Leopards adapted well to the pace of the game, conceded one goal but scored themselves with a direct free kick taken by Jonathan Bazley The Leopards enjoyed the excitement of reaching the semi-final.

Trowbridge's goals came from Timmy Jones (2), Matthew Hatter, Scott Baker and Toby Brewer.
