MELKSHAM TOWN finished with nine men in Saturday's 4-0 drubbing at home to Dawlish Town.

Manager Wayne Thorne was saw red for a clash near the touchline whilst midfielder Danny Lardner was also dismissed for a challenge in injury time.

"It's typical of the way things are going at the moment," said Lardner.

"We're not blaming the referee for the loss but both red cards were too much."

Melksham turn their attentions to the visit of Trowbridge Town in the Wiltshire Senior Cup on Monday.
