Action from the midweek under 12s game between Melksham Town Red and Chippenham Town Youth Blue

MELKSHAM Town Under 12 Reds completed their season with a superb 3-3 draw against second in the table Chippenham Town Youth Blue in a very entertaining and competitive midweek match in the Under 12s Red Division.

Melksham opened the scoring after 10 minutes through Sean Overton and then had to defend solidly as Chippenham came back at them creating several chances to level the score before finally finding the net through Louis Bishop to square the match at half-time.

The second half saw Melksham start well and they were soon rewarded for their pressure as Richard Phillips found space and beat the goalkeeper with an angled shot into the roof of the net to make the score 2-1.

Shortly after from a corner the ball fell to Melksham defender Tom Perrin who from some way out hit a superb volley which beat the Chippenham goalkeeper to make the score 3-1 with 20 minutes left to go.

At 3-1 Melksham were looking likely to add to their tally, but Chippenham, to their credit, never gave up and with 10 minutes left pulled a goal back through Callum Hussey.

Then, with almost the last kick of the game, they scored the equaliser with a strike from a corner by Ash Tuck.

Man-of-the-match for Melksham was Tom Perrin, who was impressive in defence and scored a goal as well.
