Premier Division

Premier Division leaders Marlborough Town were left frustrated when their game away at Barford Hornets was postponed due to the pitch conditions following Storm Amy and the impact of games already played over the weekend. Despite their inactivity they remain top of the table following the weekend’s results.

Melksham Town moved to within two points of the league leaders with an emphatic away win at Highworth Town with the visitors scoring eight goals without reply to inflict a first league defeat of the season on Highworth. Rebecca Kench helped herself to a hat-trick, Izzy McGuinness bagged a brace and there were further goals from Tilly McVey, Ella King and India Mulliss.

Keynsham Town “A” are up to third spot, maintaining their 100% winning start to the season but were made to work hard for the points against a much-improved Westbury Ladies side. In the end a solitary goal from Keynsham’s Rose Thompson was all that separated the two sides.

After an opening day defeat, FC Abbey Meads made it back-to-back victories with a 6-2 home win in their local derby game against Purton Kingsdown at Moredon. The goals were shared around the team with Amelia Fowles, Hayley Huckin, Claire Moreton, Emma Skinner and Chloe Neate all scoring one apiece with the other FC Abbey Meads goal coming courtesy of an own goal. The two goals in reply for Purton Kingsdown were scored by Alexi Lee and Teegan Milhench.

The final game in the division on Sunday was a tight affair between Calne Town and Swindon Supermarine, with the two sides having to settle for a point apiece following a 2-2 draw.  Calne Town led 2-0 thanks to an own goal and one from Isobel Satchell but two late goals from Paige Cook rescued a point for Swindon Supermarine.

Division One

Once again there were no problems with the playing of fixtures in Division One as all five scheduled fixtures were played and there are now new leaders of the division after Bishops Cannings fell to their first defeat of the season. Prior to Sunday Blunsdon were without a win so far this season but an impressive performance at Green Lane saw them return home with all three points following a 5-3 win. Lyndsey Plant led the way scoring a hat-trick with Kaylee Weaving and an own goal completing the scoring for the visitors. In reply for Bishops Cannings, Elsie Brewer scored twice with Korinna Ballard-Willetts getting the other goal. Bishops Cannings slipped to second place on goal difference.

The new leaders are Malmesbury Victoria who had a big 10-2 win over a spirited Staverton Rangers  side who to their credit kept going to the end of the game despite the heavy loss. Laura Deacon scored four times for Malmesbury, Emilee Collier bagged a hat-trick to head the division’s goal scoring chart at this early stage and there were further goals from Karen Mrashall, who bagged a brace, and Alice Allman. The two goals in reply for Staverton were both scored by Maisie Harris.

Salisbury joined Malmesbury and Bishops Cannings on 12 points at the top of the table, maintaining their perfect record in the process, with a narrow 1-0 win over bottom of the table Durrington who are clearly improving as the season progresses. The only goal of the game was scored early in the first half by Salisbury’s leading scorer Nicole Webster.

The other two games in the division both saw sides pick up their first wins of the season. In the local derby between Purton Kingsdown Reserves and Ferndale Rodbourne, two goals from Karolina Haylock secured a narrow 2-1 win for visitors Ferndale Rodbourne, Lorna Newton with the Purton Kingsdown Reserves goal. The win for Ferndale Rodbourne means they have already accumulated as many points as they achieved the whole of last season showing the improvement they have made in what is now their second season.

The other first-time winners were Marlborough Town Reserves, a hat-trick from Daisy Cox securing a 3-1 win over Stratton, Katrina Reynolds with the Stratton goal.
